Further notes on the lower margins of ff. 1-4 state that Bronod bequeathed the volume to his son who in turn left it to his relative, Charpentier de Boisgibault, Conseiller du Roy. M. Charpentier de Boisgibault left it to his son-in-law, Masson de St. Amand, Conseiller du Roy and later Prefet du Département de l'Eure and member of the Legion of Honor, who was knighted in 1808. On f. 4 are two seals in red wax, being those of Pierre Gilles Masson, Trésorier General de la Marine in 1680 and of Masson de St. Amand, his grandson, in 1808. Sold by Sotheby's, 21 March 1910 lot 427 to Hornstein. Belonged to Beverly Chew; his morocco book label on the front pastedown. Acquired by Henry E. Huntington in 1912.
