Provenance
The manuscript belonged to the Cistercian monastery of Santa Maria in Morimondo in the Middle Ages and retains an ex-libris inscription on fol. 73v: "Liber sancte Marie de morimondo cisterciensis ordinis mediolanensis diocesis Numero cvi." An earlier number has been erased and overwritten. Its companion volume containing the book of John is now Harvard, Richardson 2 (see Light no. 33). Morimondo manuscripts were acquired by the historian Paolo Giovio (1483-1552) and were catalogued by Ferdinando Ughelli (1595-1670). This manuscript was part of the Morimondo library acquired by the Italian bookseller Ulrico Hoepli who sold them to libraries in England and America. The glossed Mark was purchased by Sir Thomas Brooke (1830-1908) of Armitage Bridge House, near Huddersfield and retains his bookplate on the inside front cover. Grenville Kane (1854-1943) of Tuxedo Park, NY; acquired the manuscript in 1924 and added his bookplate to the inside front cover.
Source acquisition
Acquired Estate of Grenville Kane; 1946.
