Provenance
The volume belonged to 'Jehan Mocquet, 1618' (fol. 13, see his autobiographical notes of 1632 on fols. 136, 139 and 'M.' on the binding: he was 'garde du Cabinet des singularites du Roy au Palais des Thuilleries')
'Ce liure a Eté donné par le sr Mogier a S. [?] de [?] Besson', perhaps in 1686. The book bears a fine armorial bookplate of F. Besson von Steffys of the canton of Freiburg [i.e. François Besson of Estavayer-le-Lac, 1622-?1675]. Some considerable additional matter was at some time taken away from the end of the present volume.
Richard Rawlinson, 1690–1755
