At Munich, fascicles assembled in present order, several lost folios replaced with newly copied leaves, and volume bound in present covers. Kept in Hofkapelle library until end of 18th century, then transferred to ducal court library, whose holdings formed foundation of present Bayerische Staatsbibliothek.
