    Provenance: According Bond and Faye, the manuscript was "described in [a] catalogue of an Italian family of Messina as once belonging to Lascaris," although the source of this assertion is unknown. Later owned by Gladys Freeman, from whom it was acquired by George Plimpton (New York, NY), his MS 7 (Census II:1755) (Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts 58563), and passed to Herbert Reichner.
