- Custodial History:

Origin: France (Paris); France (Aix-en-Provence) (additions).
Provenance:
A member of the Anjou family: a miniature of Charlemagne holding a shield with ermines alludes to Charles of Blois, Duke of Brittany (d. 1364), father of Marie de Blois (b. 1345, d. 1404), wife of Louis I, Duke Anjou (d. 1384) (f. 86v) and grandmother of René of Anjou (see Avril and Reynaud, Manuscrits (1993), pp. 226-27); Charlemagne ('Charles') is also in gold in the calendar (28 January).
René of Anjou (b. 1409, d. 1480), King of Naples: his arms added (f. 4v) and his motto 'En Dieu en soit' inscribed on emblematic sails, added to the lower margin at the beginning of each Office of the Hours of the Virgin and the Penitential Psalms (ff. 16r, 25r, 30r, 33r, 35r, 37r, 39r, 42r, 45r); added prayer in which René is prayed for by name (ff. 43v-44r).
George Strangways (d. 1512), Archdeacon of Coventry, chaplain to Henry VII (see below).
Henry VII (b. 1457, d. 1509), King of England, presented to him by his chaplain George Strangways: inscribed 'Hunc libellum contulit ex sincera intimaque a[n]imi sui affectione D[omi]no Suo Serenissimo Henrico Septimo Invictissimo Ac Gloriosissimo Anglie et Francie regi ad virtutis et exercitatione[m] et Incrementu[m] m[a]g[iste]r Georgius Strangways Sacre Theologie Professor Archidiac[onus] Coven[triensis] regie maiestatis capellano[rum] minimus' (f. 154r).
The library of the Jesuit College, Cracow (1600-1773), presented to the library in 1630: inscribed 'Catalogo libroru[m] Domus Professae Cracoviensis Societat[is] Iesu donatus Bibliothecae eiusdem a Spectabili Do [space] Tilania Sac. condicione ut nunq[uam] alienetur ab eadem domo. Anno Domini 1630 5 Martii' (f. 4r).
Alexandrine of Prussia, Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin: a letter in German addressed to 'Grossherzogin von Mecklenburg und Schwerin', dated 4 September 1832 at Windsor Castle and relating to the Duchess's attempts to sell the manuscript, probably relates to her: in 1822–1837 Alexandrine used the title of the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and her mother-in-law, Louise of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, the former Duchess died in 1808 (ff. 1r-2r).
Bought by the British Museum from H. Ruschweigh, 6 July 1844 (note on 3rd flyleaf [f. i]) ('Ruschweigh' is perhaps a mis-spelling of 'Ruscheweyh', a more common surname; some details of the acquisition may be found in Sir Frederic Madden's diary for 10 June, and 1, 3, and 5 July 1844), using the Bridgewater fund (£12,000 bequeathed in 1829 by Francis Henry Egerton, 8th Earl of Bridgewater (b. 1756, d. 1829)).
