The thirteenth-century St Denis ex-libris and the press-marks in well-known St Denis librarians' hands saec. XIV–XV are seen on. fol. 1. Later belonged to Antoine Loisel, then to Notre Dame, where it bore the number '34², olim B.6'. Passed into the Royal Library in the second half of the eighteenth century.
