Notes
"The abbey of Mont Saint-Michel, dated ?1280: inscribed 'anno octog[esimo]', (f. 64) and with a 15th-century ownership inscription 'Iste liber est de thesauraria montis' (f. 1). Jaques Cujas, humanist scholar and legal expert (b. 1529, d. 1590), perhaps taken by him, as authorised by Nicolas le Fevre on behalf of Louis XIII, from the abbey library in c.1582 (see Genevieve Nortier, Les bibliotheques médiévales des abbayes bénédictines de Normandie (Caen: Caron et cie, 1966), p. 151); his books were dispersed at his death and this manuscript may have returned to the abbey then."
