Provenance
  • The colophon on fol. 58r associates the volume with the Cistercian monastery of Santa Maria Vallis Serena, diocese of Parma, in Northern Italy, also called St. Martin at Valserena, founded in 1298. The scribe writes that the volume was produced at the request of Sigismund de Fulchinis, the monastery's tenth abbot, who was seated in 1457. The arms of the abbot (azure in a crescent argent a six-pointed star or, beneath a cross of the second) are found on fol. 1r. Sold by C. F. Libbie & Co., Boston, on 17 Nov. 1891 (n. 2021) on behalf of an unnamed Boston collector. This codex was donated to Ohio Wesleyan University by Frank W. Gunsaulus in 1916.
