    Provenance
    Held at the Cistercian Abbey of Notre Dame in Aubazine until probably the time of the French Revolution. Later owned by Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex. Sold from his collection in 1844 to Thomas Thorpe. Purchased by Bernard Quaritch in 1860. George Dunn acquired it in 1894. Sold from his collection in 1913 through Sotheby's, London to Bertram Dobell, perhaps for Giuseppe Martini. In 1914, Grenville Kane purchased it from Martini. Princeton University Library acquired the manuscript from Kane's heirs in February 1946.
