Provenance
The coat of arms on f. 1v bears the elaborate achievement of Margaretha van Bergen, consort of Floris van Egmond. The representation presumably dates from before 1500 when Floris van Egmond's father died, since the Egmond arms are here differenced with a label of six points argent; the representation is also considered to be before 1505 when Floris van Egmond was elected to the order of the Golden Fleece, the collar of that order is not present. Nor could these be the arms of Margaretha's and Floris' son, Maximilian, since she was not an heiress. The arms are, per pale, I, quarterly, 1 and 4, gules three chevrons or (Egmond; Rietstap, vol. 2, pl. 257); 2 and 3, gules one fesse counter-embattled argent (Arkel; Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 66); over all, or a saltire checky argent and gules (Isselstein; Rietstap, vol. 3, pl. 258); II, per fesse, 1, per pale, sable a lion rampant or (Brabant; vol. 1, pl. 300); and paley gules and or (Berthout; Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 196); 2, vert three mascles argent (Bautersem; Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 146). This impaling, for Bergen-op-Zoom, in Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 185. Belonged to Ambroise Firmin Didot; his sale, Paris, 12 June 1882 n. 18 to Baron de Beurnonville; later owned by William K. Bixby of St. Louis; acquired by Henry E. Huntington through G. D. Smith in August 1918.
