Provenance
Written in southern Italy, perhaps Naples, to judge from the style of the decoration; the presence of Onuphrius in the litany may also suggest a southern origin. The coat of arms in the lower border of f. 1 has been repainted and is now per fess, or and gules. A lengthy note in Italian accompanying the volume states that the artist "fu certamente senese o fiorentino" and that the book belonged to the Placidi family of Siena, heirs to the Bandinelli family. Date and source of acquisition by Henry E. Huntington unknown.
