The leaf has an interesting provenance. The leaf comes from the Munich Antiquarian by Julius Halle, which was led from his death by daughter Ida. See its catalogue by Adolf Dresler, J. Hall. Catalogue 70, New newspapers. Relations, pamphlets, leaflets, monogram prints from 1470 to 1820 (Munich, J. Hall Antiquariat, 1929, number 1043). Both halves were offered there. Ida Halle had been expropriated as a Jewish merchant after 1933, whereupon the present half of the leaf passed as a deposit into the "German Museum of Masterpieces of Science and Technology", from which it could be restituted to the heirs of Ida Hall.
