Custodial History:

Origin:

Italy (? Central Italy).

Provenance:

John Chamberlayne (b. 1668/9, d. 1723), translator and literary editor, and son of Edward Chamberlayne (b. 1616, d. 1703): bought by Edward Harley at the sale of Chamberlayne's library conducted by Daniel Browne, bookseller at the Black Swan and Bible Without-Temple-Bar, on 11 March 1723/4 (see Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972), p. 101).

The Harley Collection, formed by Robert Harley (b. 1661, d. 1724), 1st earl of Oxford and Mortimer, politician, and Edward Harley (b. 1689, d. 1741), 2nd earl of Oxford and Mortimer, book collector and patron of the arts, inscribed as usual by their librarian, Humfrey Wanley ‘11 die Martij, A.D. 1723/4’ (f. 1r).

Edward Harley bequeathed the library to his widow, Henrietta Cavendish, née Holles (b. 1694, d. 1755) during her lifetime and thereafter to their daughter, Margaret Cavendish Bentinck (b. 1715, d. 1785), duchess of Portland; the manuscripts were sold by the Countess and the Duchess in 1753 to the nation for £10,000 (a fraction of their contemporary value) under the Act of Parliament that also established the British Museum; the Harley manuscripts form one of the foundation collections of the British Library.
