Provenance

Inscription in black ink manuscript on the recto of a leaf of vellum bound in at the front of the text, mostly indecipherable but possibly: Ex libris phi[...]bion [...]ome. Drawn beneath the inscription is a device with crossed keys and a monogram, possibly PF. Written further down the page is the word: Codex.


Inscription in black ink manuscript in French, nineteenth-century, on the verso of a leaf of vellum bound at the front of the text: Ce Barthole imprimé à Venise en 1480 m'a été donné en 1811 par Mr Hercules De Serre nommé 1er président d'Hambourg.


Coloured armorial bookplate of Sir Edward Allen Brotherton on the front pastedown. The book was most likely acquired before 17 June 1929 when Brotherton was created Baron Brotherton of Wakefield.
