Provenance
Written in France in the second half of the fifteenth century for owners whose names may have been Claude and Catherine, as indicated by the frequent use of the initials C. and C. in the decoration, and by the possible owner representation in the miniature of St. Claude, f. 155; the name of Catherine is suggested, less firmly, by the rather uncommon prominence given to Catherine of Siena, f. 158. The manuscript was acquired by Henry E. Huntington as part of the Bridgewater Library which he purchased in 1917.
