History
Provenance and Acquisition
‘Expliciunt rubrice … per me magistrum Johannem Laurentii de Senis ordinis minorum. Anno domini 1487. Die 15 decembris. Innocentio 8º pon. maximo etc. Ansano meo Venctiis studii gratia existente’ (fol.4). ‘Per me magistrum Johanem Laurentii de Senis ordinis minorum … 1488 die 10 martii. …’ (fol. 86). According to a note on fol.86v by Luigi de Angelis, the scribe drew up the catalogue of the Library of the Franciscans at Siena in 1481 and commented on the Bible, both of which MSS. were then in the possession of Luigi de Angelis. See B.L.R. II, 1947, p.170.
