Other Note

Notes in the catalogue only give the details that the manuscript was owned by a "Countess of Huntingdon", but Vanessa Wilkie, William A. Moffett Curator of Medieval Manuscripts and British History at the Huntington Library, has gathered evidence suggesting that this is in the hand of Lucy Hastings (Davies).
