Provenance
'Λανρεντίου τοῦ Λανρεντίου ἔστι τò βίβλíου' (16th century?): Lorenzo Loredan (?). See MS. D'Orville 2. The inscription is not in Loredan's hand and was probably added by a later owner but Vendruscolo regarded Loredan's ownership as likely (F. Vendruscolo, 'Lorenzo Loredan 'copista' e possessore di codici greci', Italia Medioevale e Umanistica 38 (1995), 337-63 at 355-6).
Gaisford says, 'Codex valde mutilus, et potius Epitome quam exemplar perfecti operis. Emtus est [a] D'Orvillio cum alio Lexico Gr. (forte Etym. M. ... [ MS. D'Orville 2]) circa an. 1730.'
Jacques Phillippe D'Orville of Amsterdam (1690–1751)
Jean D'Orville, b. 1734, his son, by descent
Jean D'Orville, son of Jean, by descent
Sold to the Rev. John Cleaver Banks (1765/1766–1845): purchased from him by the Bodleian
