Notes
Ownership:
The manuscript belonged to the monastery in Vadstena (cfr. the Vadstena shelf mark on the upper cover: F II 2us , repeated on the front pastedown. Also on front pastedown a note of ownership: liber iste reuelacionum beate birgitte pertinet monasterio watzstenensi .
Acquisition:
How and when the manuscript came to Kalmar is not known. In the 16th century it was still in Vadstena but was possibly brought to Kalmar in 1595 when the convent was dissolved. It appears 1876 in Melén's "Förteckning öfver Kalmar H. Elementarläroverks Boksamling" (Kalmar, 1876, p. 209). Since 1990, June 12, it is in deposition at Lund University Library.
