Thott 591 8°: Ius Lubicense Tunderense

Parchment, 22 ff., c. 15 × 11,5 cm; Denmark: Tønder, saec. XV

The manuscript contains the Latin version of Lübisches Recht as used in Tønder. It is a direct copy of the Thott 2061 4° which was copied in 1243 and sent by the counsellors of Lübeck as a gift to the town Tønder in southern Jutland (DK). Thott 591 8° was copied in Tønder at a time when Thott 2061 4° was still complete and thus supplements the text from the end of § 91 to § 104 + the epilogue (f. 18r-21r)

In the eighteenth century the manuscript belonged to the jurist and historian Andreas Hojer (1690-1739), born near Tønder, where he was also buried. Afterwards it belonged to count Otto Thott (1703-1785), who bequeathed his collection of c. 4000 manuscripts to the Royal Library
