3. History

According to the Provenance entries this notation collection was written (and maybe compiled) by Jacobus Apfell, a Cistercian monk of the Oliva monastery, a student at the Jesuit theological academy in Braunsberg. After the dissolution of the Cistercian monastery in Oliva in 1831, the manuscript was moved to the Prussian State archives in Königsberg. After World War II this organ tablature was brought to the Manuscript Department of the Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences together with other manuscripts rescued from Königsberg ruins
