Provenance
On f. 245, ownership note of "Frater Balthasarus Schuop anno domini 1572." Sixteenth century ex libris of a convent, probably Dominican, in Frankfurt on f. ii, "Iste libellus pertinet ad Conventum Franckfordiciensem Anno domini [15]78." Eighteenth century pressmark, presumably of the same convent, on f. iii verso, "No. 4910 C[onventus] fr[atrum] O[rdinis] P[raedicatorum]." Given after the secularization by a Professor Schütz, teacher of Latin, to his student on 16 January 1813 according to the note on f. 123, "Dieses Manuscript habe ich von meinem lateinischen Lehere herr Professor Schütz zum Geschenk bekommen [...?]stag den 16ten Januar 1813"; the lower edge of this leaf cut away, possibly to remove the student's signature. On f. i verso, "This volume was picked up on the field of Gravelotte, shortly after the battle [of the Franco-Prussian war, west of Metz, 18 August 1870] by James Audus Hirst Esq. of Adel near Leeds who gave it to his daughter Ethel Adela (Mrs. W. A. Harding)." Mrs. Harding, an author, and her husband, Walter Ambrose Harding of Madingley Hall, Cambridgeshire, died in 1942. Acquired by James Thorpe in Cambridge, England, ca. 1950; given by him to the Huntington Library in July 1983.
