Germany Erfurt , 1414 and 1439?. The manuscript contains two colophons, one placing unit 1 in Erfurt, Germany, in (), and one dating unit 3 to (). The second colophon appears, however, to be a later addition. The hand has, furthermore, corrected the date from to -39. All three watermarks found in the respective units can be dated to 1408–15, matching the date of the first colophon, and all three are found in Rothenburg ob der Tauber

A 200 once made up one of the halves of a single manuscript - the second half of which now constitutes no. 400 of Växjö stiftsbibliotek (formerly Kungliga gymnasi biblioteket) - which hails from the Carthusian charterhouse of Salvatorberg in Erfurt; it is listed in their library catalogue as 112.2 ( Lehmann (1935) ). A former librarian notes that the Växjö manuscript (no. 400) retains the original binding, which carries the Carthusian signum as well as a note on the purchase of the manuscript by George Stephens from a Hr Schmidt, Bookseller in Halle in .

The original manuscript appears to have been intact when it was sold at auction in as part of the library of book collector Friedrich Gottlieb Julius von Bülow ( Schäffer (1836) ). Presumably, it had come into von Bülow's possession earlier in the 19th century, when the charterhouse of Salvatorberg was secularized.

Purchased from George Stephens in (see note on ).

The authorship of the text is debated; it has been attributed to, among others, Denis the Carthusian (1402-1471). Emery, however, argues based on the date of the watermark that the text cannot be by Denis ( Emery 1991 ).

After the final rubric is added a paraphrase of Augustine, Augustinus Visus facit malam cogitacionem cogitacio delectacionem delectacio consensum consensus operam operacio consuetudo desperacionem despereacio eternam dampnacionem etc, a parallel of which can be found in Sermo 98, PL .
