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

An unidentified heraldic crest has been added to fol. 113v, with quarters 1 and 4 azure, three crowns in bend, bendwise (perhaps a reference to the arms of the legendary Brutus of Troy) and quarters 2 and 3 or a cross gules with four fleur-de-lis gules (perhaps a reference to the Irish branch of the Haydon, or Heydon, family). This crest was added in the fifteenth century, presumably by its owner at that time. Donated to University Archives and Special Collections in 1974 by Zelia C. Friel in memory of John Whiting Friel. Bookplate for John Whiting Friel (1891-1970) and Helen Otillie Friel (1891-1959) attached to the inside cover.1
Bookplate for Robert R. Dearden, Jr. (d. 1938) attached to the inside cover. Signature of Jacobus Urbanus (Jacob Urban) on the back of the second flyleaf. The front of the second flyleaf once included another name that has been crossed out with ink, making that name unreadable. Note from Robert Dearden, Jr. states “The manuscript was purchased by me from a dealer in Germany shortly after the World War and was formerly in one of the libraries of that county.” Charles Williams purchased the bible from Robert Dearden, Jr. Donated to Xavier University by Mrs. Lawrence H.
