Provenance
Written in the late fourteenth century, perhaps in southern France. The coat of arms in the lower margin of f. 1 is of the bishopric of Tarazona: 1 and 4, vert a cross moline or voided gules; 2 and 3, or three bars gules, supported by 2 angels. The bishop who first owned the book may have been Pedro Perez Calvillo, Bishop of Tarazona, 1352-91, or his brother, Fernando, Bishop of Tarazona, 1392-1404, who, as Cardinal, attended Benedict XIII in Avignon. The library of the Calvillo, by testament, passed to the parochial church of St. Mary Magdalene in Tarazona, and later, by papal intervention, to the cathedral of that city; cathedral inventories mention two pontificals, neither of which are certainly identifiable with the present volume (one, which belonged to Pedro Calvillo, "cum clausuris de argenteo," the other "cum certis officiis"). See also D. Yates, "The Cathedral Library of Tarazona, Its Medieval Manuscripts and Benefactors," The Journal of Library History 17 (1982) 268-77. Sold, Sotheby's, 20 November 1923, lot 498 with a plate of f. 1 to Maggs for Henry E. Huntington.
