Note

2 dedication miniatures were added c. 975 to commemorate the donation of the book by Dirk II. The binding covered with gold and precious stones, which Dirk II had made also, was lost between 1571-1574 and replaced by a leather binding with the date 1574. This binding was removed in the KB after 1830; rebound in 1949 and 199
