Vienna, Aloys Fuchs; Leipzig, Moritz Hauptmann; Vienna, Johann Nepomuk Kafka; Alfred Bovet; given by Bovet to Vincent d’Indy, 1883; purchased for Zweig (‘durch Kra[?]’) at d’Indy sale, Andrieux, Paris, 20 Jan. 1933, lot 19 (Zweig’s record card, Add. MS 73167, f. 3); British Library, Loan 77.16 from 1981 to 1986.
The early provenance of Zweig MS 8 is given on Zweig’s record card and in the catalogue of the sale of D’Indy’s collection, in each case derived from a letter then with the manuscript, but apparently no longer surviving.
