Provenance
Written in France, possibly Tours, although the calendar and litany appear quite general, in the early sixteenth century. It has been suggested that the manuscript belonged to the Duchess of Namur on the basis of what was interpreted as a coat of arms in a roundel on f. 16, a ruby proper, in a lozenge or, surrounded by 4 pearls proper. However, this may simply be an ornamental Renaissance jewel, as is frequently found in Italian manuscripts of the time. Belonged to Herschel V. Jones of Minneapolis (1861-1928), and was obtained from him in February 1918 by Henry E. Huntington.
