Provenance
The figure of a man kneeling before pope and emperor (f. 45v) may be intended to represent the owner of the book. The signature "Elizabeth Wyndesor" in an early sixteenth century hand on f. ii may be that of Elizabeth Blount, wife of Andrew Windsor; the same name occurs in a volume of Lydgate's poems (Oxford, Bod. Lib., Hatton 73, ff. 1v, 122 and 123) where an "Elyzabeth Wyndesore" is said to have died in 1531. Another sixteenth century owner was "Anne," to whom the book is dedicated on f. 146v: "Mystres Anne this boke and my hartte ys all yors/ Gode send you good chaunce and meny good New Yersse/ And al halloue that be with yn this boke exprest/ send me yor owne my desyre and harttes Reste/ En dieu essperaunce. A.W." The 17th century signature on f. ii of "Sir John Carrill" may be that of Lord John Caryll whose heir was his nephew, John Caryll (1666?-1736); the latter's grandson held the sale in 1790 referred to on f. ii verso: "Benjamin Rotch, Dunkerque. Bought at a Sale of Lord Carryll's Library 6mo 15th 1790." Belonged to John Boyd Thacher of New York; his sale, Anderson, New York, 8 January 1914, pt. II, n. 253 to G. D. Smith. Source and date of acquisition by Henry E. Huntington unknown.
