General Description

Main corpus copied by one main scribe (new ff. 8-61, 64'-72, 136, 138'-139) and one additional scribe (new ff. 61'-64, 72'-101). Five later scribes made additions, as follows—I: new ff. 101'-104; II: new ff. 104'-105, 106'-114; III: new ff. 105'-106; IV: new ff. 120'-121; V: new ff. 136'-138, 139'-149 (GutiérrL, who disputes RifSC's assertion of scribal concordances with FlorR 2794 and WashLC L25). Copied in France, possibly in Loire Valley region (GutiérrW). 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.

Foliation

Original ink foliation in Roman numerals mostly obliterated by later trimming; newer ink and pencil foliation, 1-151, on upper and lower right rectos (all extant folios, including guard sheets, correctly accounted for in enumeration, but some folios lack numbers; f. 141 incorrectly numbered '140' by later hand)

DIAMM, 2017
Decoration

Painted initials and borders in earliest layer (new ff. 8-87', 136, 138'-139); ff. 88-101 have less elaborate decorative initials painted by different artisans than those who decorated earliest layer; other folios undecorated. Coat of arms, probably that of Morin de Mondeville family, added during 16th century on new ff. 8, 25', 33', 56', and 72' (GutiérrL).

DIAMM, 2017
Index

Original index on new ff. 2-6 groups pieces alphabetically by first letter of text, with subgrouping under each letter by order of appearance. Several pieces listed in index now missing due to lost original folios; some pieces in manuscript (mostly in latest layer) not listed in index.
