Provenance: name on a2r in an early(?) hand: ‘Tr Gend[ ]'; unidentified stamp on a1r: eighteenth-century ‘C C's addorsed and interlaced beneath a coronet. Date of acquisition unknown, but the shelfmark makes a date of 1886 probable, so this might be the copy bought referred to as ‘Bapt. Mantuanus' in the bill from Camille Vyt, Catalogue 290, no. 262; see Library Bills, 24 Feb. 1886.
