Origin uncertain, but as witnessed by the inscriptions on the manuscript belonged to the Carthusian monastery in Buxheim. It seems to have done so from early on until at least the 18th century (see Buxheimlibrary.org for more information). During the 19th century the manuscript was one of the many manuscripts acquired by the bookdealer Ludwig Rosenthal. Later the manuscript ended up in an antiqurian bookshop in Denmark.

This manuscript originally belonged together with A 70, which contains the second part of the Revelations and the Sermo Angelicus. The manuscripts were kept together in Buxheim, but were later separated until they were reunited at the National Library.

Purchase from Denmark by the National Library in .
