Provenance:
This manuscript previously belonged to Baron de Boeymer, whose name is written on the flyleaf.
This manuscript was purchased for the Harley collection 20 October 1725 (inscribed on the flyleaf) from Giovanni Giacomo Zamboni, and is presumed to have come from Dusseldorf where it may have been in the collection of Johann Georg Graevius.
The Harley Collection, formed by Robert Harley (1661-1724), 1st earl of Oxford and Mortimer, politician, and Edward Harley (1689-1741), 2nd earl of Oxford and Mortimer, book collector and patron of the arts.
Edward Harley bequeathed the library to his widow, Henrietta Cavendish, née Holles (1694-1755) during her lifetime and thereafter to their daughter, Margaret Cavendish Bentinck (1715-1785), duchess of Portland; the manuscripts were sold by the Countess and the Duchess in 1753 to the nation for £10,000 under the Act of Parliament that also established the British Museum; the Harley manuscripts form one of the foundation collections of the British Library.
