provenance
Written in Flanders at the end of the fifteenth century for use in Bruges, according to the saints in the calendar. The coat of arms on f. 13 appears to be original, and is probably that of the Esneval family of Normandy (Rietstap, vol. 2, pl. 280). The book bears the number "26" on the spine and on f. i; also on f. i, the erased press mark "D.8.1," the cipher "1673/2629," and what is probably the price code for Dawson's Book Shop, Los Angeles. Received by the Huntington Library in April 1953 as a bequest from Mary W. T. Dickinson (d. September 1952).
