'Λανρεντίου τοῦ Λανρεντίου ἔστι τò βίβλιου' (16th century?): Lorenzo Loredan (?). (Cf. MS. D'Orville 60). 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 354-5).
