Custodial History:

Origin: Eastern Mediterranean.

Provenance:

Maximus Margunius (c. 1549-1602), Bishop of Cythera and Greek humanist: most of the πίναξ (vol. I, f 146r) is in his hand, as for Burney 106. Possibly owned by him: many of his manuscripts passed to the monastery ᾽Ιβήρων on Mt. Athos and part later to the Synod in Moscow (cf. Diller 1980, p. 513).

Charles Burney (b. 1757, d. 1817), D.D., classical scholar: probably acquired at the same time as Burney 106.

Acquired by the British Museum as part of Burney’s library from his son Charles Parr Burney in 1818.

Administrative Context:

Eastern Mediterranean.
