Probably owned in 16th century by Pierre Morin de Mondeville (GutiérrL, based on identification of coat of arms and inscription 'pris chez M M' on last folio). Owned in 19th century by the archaeologist and historian Léon Emmanuel Simon Joseph, Marquis de Laborde (1807-69). Acquired from Laborde's descendants by firm of Bernard Quaritch at 1932 Sotheby's sale. Later acquired from Quaritch by E. P. Goldschmidt and Co.; purchased from latter by Library of Congress in 1936.
