Location of production is probably northern French (Paris), but possibly southern English (script has a few English tendencies, such as forked ascenders, but this is inconclusive without other evidence). This is the final leaf of a quire (catchword “Zara” located in center bottom margin of verso, indicating the first word of the next quire so the quires are bound in the correct order).
