Provenance:

An Italian scribe, wrote ff. 1-88 in 1463: a colophon on f. 88v: ‘Ego matheus de scachaborocijs scripsi hos flores Millesimo quadringentessimo sexagessimo tertio die xxiij mensis augusti feliciter’; ff. 88-92 were written by a different hand.

An unknown 15th-century owner: added annotations throughout the manuscript.

Conyers Middleton (b. 1683, d. 1750), Church of England clergyman and author: perhaps acquired during his travels in Italy in 1724-25; purchased from him by Harley on 25 February 1724/25.

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 '25 die Februarij A.D. 1724/25’ (f. [iii]recto).

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.
