Helmut, I don't know how prevalent it was in the 15th century for patrons to provide the writing medium.
This is not something I have actively researched. It is something I came across a number of times while I was researching other things and it was from a variety of dates. I posted the info because I thought it might not be well-known that this was sometimes the custom, and also because introducing a subject usually brings out more information about it from the research community (to fill out the picture).
