Provenance
Written in Spain in 1592 for a Franciscan convent as shown by the presence of an office for Francis in the original hand; later additions on f. 119r-v attest to continued Franciscan ownership. The added office for Torquatus on f. 83r-v suggests that at least by then the book may have been in Guadix. Date and source of acquisition by Henry E. Huntington unknown.
