Provenance

Princeton MS. 122 was written by Gervasius Renier of Bonneval, probably for his own use, but otherwise is of unknown early and intermediate provenance. A paper label on the upper board has the inscriptions “manuscrit du 15ieme siècle" in pencil and “1457” in black ink. In 1978, Rev. Francis Sydney Bancroft, Jr. (1905-1989), Class of 1927, donated the manuscript to the Princeton University Library.
