History
Origin: 15th century, first half
Provenance and Acquisition
The manuscript’s colophon on fol. 103r gives a date as 1299, but that is in fact only the composition date of Ramon Lull’s text (as in MS. Canon. Misc. 332). Compounding the misunderstanding, Coxe took 1299 as a mistake for 1399, presumably to make a better fit for the manuscript’s script and decoration, which seem to be earlier 15th century. The manuscript is rejected as a dated manuscript on these grounds by Andrew Watson, Dated MSS. (1984), vol. 1 p. 150.
Matteo Luigi Canonici, 1727–1805
Purchased by the Bodleian in 1817
