One of the ten items in the St. Olaf Paleography Teaching Collection, acquired in 2019.2
These leaves are found in a two-volume edition of Petrarch's works (Basel: Henricus Petri, 1554). Gift of Edward A. Cudahy.2
A leaf from Otto Ege's portfolio "Original Leaves from Famous Bibles Nine Centuries 1121-1935 AD, Series B". This portfolio belongs to Bethany Theological Seminary whose collections are on deposit at Earlham College. The provenance of this portfolio is otherwise unknown.1
A modern pencil inscription in the bottom margin of the recto reads "VM 1754." Leaf 3 of the IWU Lamson collection. This set of nine leaves was gifted to Illinois Wesleyan University by Alfred (Class of 1939) and Helen Lamson. The Lamson donation was orchestrated by IWU's President, Minor Myers, Jr., who negotiated with Harry L. Stern, antiquarian book seller, regarding the purchase of the leaves (circa 1990) which were then donated to the University. A similar set of leaves is held by Loyola Marymount University and known as the Bruce Ferrini Liturgical Manuscript Leaf Collection. Ferrini likely sold these leaves as well.1
Acquired by Saint Mary's College in March or April of 1944, according to an April 20, 1944 article in the South Bend Tribune. The acquisition number written in the lower, inner margin of fol. 1r reads: "40242 Dante". This acquisition number misidentifies that manuscript as having been a part of a larger donation of items associated with Dante's works, also gifted to the College in 1944. The South Bend Tribune article, however, states that the acquisition of this manuscript occured independently from the Dante donation. Sticker of "Cosmopolitan Science & Art Service Co. Inc., 638 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY" on rear pastedown. Originally catalogued by Saint Mary's College as B765 T 5 1300. Included in Hirsch, Valuable Manuscripts, no. 24, where it was listed for sale for 400 Reichsmark in the early 1930s. Hirsch reproduces one of the diagrams found in Analytica priora in Plate XVI.1
De Ricci states that this volume was given by St. Ignatius College to Xavier University in October 1887.1
Gift of Mrs. J. A. Chapperon to Loyola's Classical Studies Department November 26, 1980. Transferred to Loyola Special Collections December 13, 2013.1
Inside the front cover is the bookplate of "George Dunn of Woolley Hall near Maidenhead." De Ricci indicates that the manuscript was purchased by George Dunn in May of 1896 and subsequently sold as a part of his collection in London in February of 1914 (II, n. 736) to James Tregaskis. Ohio Wesleyan's records suggest that Tregaskis, a bookseller, later sold the manuscript to Frank W. Gunsaulus either directly or via catalog. The family of Frank Wakely Gunsaulus, class of 1875, presented this manuscript to OWU in 1923.1
Item donated to Berea College by Ross Waters Sloniker of Cincinnati, OH in 1971.1

Item donated to Knox College by Harriet Robbins Moses (1888-1973) of Salina, KS as part of a bequest through her estate in 1973. Moses graduated from Knox College in 1912. The codex from which this leaf was taken was listed for sale by Sotheby's on February 13, 1928 (lot 502). Purchased by the bookseller Thomas Thorp, Guilford, who then sold it to Otto Ege shortly thereafter, probably in 1928 (Gwara 123).1

The name "von Scherling" is associated with this item in a brief seller description. This is likely Erik Edzard Floris Folkard von Scherling (1907-1956), a bookseller in Leiden.1
Item donated to Knox College by Harriet Robbins Moses (1888-1973) of Salina, KS as part of a bequest through her estate in 1973. Moses graduated from Knox College in 1912. The name of a prior eighteenth-century English owner is found on a leaf from the same manuscript held at the Muskegon Museum of Art. It reads: "1744 Tom. Shep." Further down, another marginal notation in a similar ink but a different hand reads: "TOM TOM LORD." These notes perhaps refer to Thomas Sheppard of Lidcote (Buckinghamshire), who married in 1744 and whose son, also named Thomas Sheppard, became a baronet in 1809.1
