Recipe Details
Evidence
"the parchment is average; the volume is not a deluxe edition, but a booklet intended for everyday use."
Remarks
The support material for manuscript Clm 4650 is identified as average quality parchment. The codex is noted for its small dimensions (135 x 107 mm), suggesting its function as a portable and practical booklet rather than a luxury item (p. 417-418). The manuscript is a 'patchwork' of formulae from various origins, copied with a uniform layout (p. 419). It was kept at the Benediktbeuern Abbey from at least the eleventh century (p. 418).
