A fair copy, the eighteenth-century manuscript was probably compiled by a student or lawyer to serve as a reference work. The prevalence of numerous Hungarian names in this manuscript, such as "Nagy" or "Szecheny," and the mention of cities of Buda and Pest in another, supports our assumption that it was compiled in Hungary. The examples are given as dated short entries arranged according to their incipits. The date of each is given; the earliest is dated 1638.
