- Provenance
- Possibly lot 25 in the sale of John Boykett Jarman, Sotheby's, 13 June 1864 to de Bure, where it is said to be Flemish; Sir Frederic Madden's annotated copy, however, corrects the origin of lot 25 to French. French sale catalogue slip, n. 200 (pasted to f. i verso and dated by De Ricci "c.1885") describes the book as containing 14 miniatures, some slightly retouched, and with its present binding, which is characteristic of Jarman-owned books. Belonged to Robert Hoe; Grolier Club (1892) n. 67; Cat. (1909) pp. 73-74; his sale, Anderson, New York, 1912, pt. III, n. 2065 with plate of f. 63v, to G. D. Smith. Precise source and date of acquisition by Henry E. Huntington unknown.
