Date

15th Century CE
There are several types of paper with several watermarks in this manuscript - the watermarks range from end of 14th century to end of 15th century.
The most visible watermark (fols 197-204) was idenfitied as almost identical to Piccard Bd. 15.3, Abtlg. 5, Nr. 604 (horse without mane, turned 90 degrees, no additional motifs) (1435, Ravenna) (see https://wzma.at/loadRepWmarkImgPDF.php?rep=PPO&refnr=15.3-5-604)
Another watermark, on fols 198-203 bears a strinking resemblance to DE3285-PO-50711 (1484, Frankfurt, Main)
Various markings, such as the highlighting of letters in verses on fol. 21r, marked in a different ink than that of the body of the text, accounts for the gematric equivalent of 1419 (unclear whether this is marked as a year)
