This manuscript was probably stolen from the Frankfurt Judengasse during the Fettmilch pogrom of 1614, then cut up and reused. Christian bookbinders often sold large quantities of stolen parchment to purchasers in other cities. This page was used to make the cover of a medical work by Augustin Thoner that was printed in Ulm in 1651.
