Provenance

• Written in Tournai during the first half of the eleventh century; in the lower margin of f. 1r is the note: "Liber Radbodi epi." written in the same hand as the hand which wrote the second article; this Radbod (the second) whose Sermo de nativitate B. M. V. is article 2, was elected Bishop of Noyon and Tournai in 1067-68, and died in 1098; Johann A. Fabricius in his Bibliotheca latina mediae et infimae aetatis (Florentiae, 1858-59) v. 6, p. 333 notes the existence of two manuscripts of Radbod's Sermo de nativitate, one in the Vatican and the other in the library of St. Martin at Tournai; given that this text once belonged to Radbod, this manuscript may be the St. Martin copy mentioned by Fabricius; perhaps also in the possession of Petrarch, to whom the marginalia is attributed; Elisabeth Pellegrin, in "Nouveaux Manuscrits Annotés par Pétrarque à la Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris," Scriptorium 5 (1951) 270-71, describes two other manuscripts probably from the Abbey of Saint-Martin, Tournai owned and annotated by Petrarch; in the collection of the Marquess of Blandford at White Knights (Bibliotheca Blandfordiensis, I [1813] 2); his sale (London, 7 June 1819, n. 1960) to Henry Drury (ownership note, in ink, recto of the second flyleaf); his sale (London, 19 Feb. 1827, n. 2015) to Thorpe for Sir Thomas Phillipps (no. 3373, on paper label on spine and verso of first flyleaf); his sale (London, 1913, n. 547) to Leighton; his sale (London, 14 Nov. 1918, I, n.339) to Maggs; offered by J. Martini, Cat. 16 (1920), n. 12; Cat 17 (1922) n. 8; Cat. 18 (1922) n. 8 (printed catalogue entry laid in); in the collection of Edward Duff Balken, Pittsburgh (printed bookplate; in lead in upper left corner: "25"); obtained from Maggs, Cat. 542 (1930) n. 35 by Howard L. Goodhart (bookplate), and given by him to Bryn Mawr College, Nov. 1951
