Provenance
  • 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.
