Provenance
[The two works were probably not bound together until 19th century, so the Medicinable Morall provenance may not be related to the Ars poetica: Thomas Juxon, signature, 16th century (Medicinable title page); Thomas Tanner (1674-1735), signature (Medicinable title page), see Bod-inc provenance index; Thomas Park (1759-1834), signatures, 1792 (Medicinable title page and M4v);] Theodore Irwin (1827-1902), purchased from J.O. Wright, Aug. 1887; Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913), purchased with Irwin collection, 1900.
