- Given by Rudolf, priest of Lindau, to a monastery, doubtless the Premonstratensian imperial abbey of Weissenau (founded in 1145, suppressed in 1803), where it was by the time of the eighteenth-century inscription on fol. 1r, Bibliothecę Weissenaw probably one of the two twelfth- to thirteenth-century Psalter commentaries noted by M. Gerbert on his visit to Weissenau in 1760 (Lehmann 1918, p. 408).
; many manuscripts from Weissenau were appropriated by the last abbot, Bonaventura Brem (1755-1818), who retired to Schloss Liebenau, whence they were bought c. 1842 by Georg von Waldburg-Zeil, S.J. [1823-1866), for the Jesuit College at Fribourg-en-Suisse, but were dispersed in 1854 before the presentation had been made; bound in London, c. 1860.
