Numbers 236-241 are practically identical in the writing, but have minor differences in the spacing of line, etc. They may nevertheless have been parts of a single collection; William Gates received them gathered among various pieces, including others in K'iche'; sold to Robert Garrett (purchased from William Gates in 1930); deposited by Garrett at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton in 1942; removed from the Institute in 1949, at Garrett's request, and donated to the Princeton University Library.
