Copied by one main scribe and two or three additional scribes. Copied in Spain. Possibly of monastic origin (RandS); partially illegible inscription suggests ownership by a monastery at Jerez. Later owned by Luis Jesús Fernández de Cordoba y Salabert, 17th Duke of Medinaceli (1880-1956); may have belonged to Medinaceli family from an early period. Acquired (in 1960's?) by the lawyer and financier Bartolomé March Servera of Madrid.
