The manuscript contains the German-language chronicle of Jakob Twinger von Königshofen, an appendix with the chronicle of Röttel, as well as additions concerning events from 1487 to 1497. Since the additions have various connections to the Basel convent of Augustinian Canonesses of Klingental, it is likely that the codex was in their possession. The convent was dissolved in 1557. The manuscript probably remained there and was found by the chronicler Christian Wurstisen (1544-1588), who moved into the empty convent a few years later. Wurstisen used the volume as one of the sources for his own chronicle. (stu)
