Provenance:?- ?, Octave Marie Joseph Kérim Homberg Sr. (1844-1907), method of acquisition unknown [1], By 1903-1942, Henri Vever (1854-1942), likely acquired directly from Homberg Sr.[2], 1942-1947, Jeanne Louise Monthiers (1861-1947), bequest of Henri Vever [3], 1947-1986, Francois Mautin (1907-2003), bequest of Jeanne Louise Monthiers and Henri Vever [4], From 1986, Arthur M. Sackler Gallery purchased from Francois Mautin [5], Notes:, [1] Vever's notation on folio 1a reads "ancienne collection Homberg père," suggesting that he likely acquired directly from Octave Marie Joseph Kérim Homberg Sr. Octave Homberg Senior was a Censor of the Bank of France before becoming the Director of the Société Générale, one of the oldest banks in France. He amassed a diverse collection of fine arts., [2] An accomplished French jeweler and collector, Henri Vever (1854-1942) amassed a large and impressive collection of works of art during his lifetime. His holdings in Japanese prints and Islamic arts of the books, especially from Iran and India, were among the most important assembled in the early twentieth century., It is unclear when Vever acquired this manuscript, but it was in his collection by 1903 when it was exhibited. See M. Gaston Migeon, M. Max van Berchem and M. Huart, "Exposition des Arts Musulmans, Catalogue Descriptif" [exhibition catalogue] (Paris : Société française d'Imprimerie et de Librairie, Avril 1903), no. 817. The manuscript was in Vever's collection at the time of his death., [3] Upon Henri Vever's death on September 25, 1942, his wife, Jeanne Louise Monthiers inherited the object. See exhibits F and G of Agreement of Purchase and Sale of the Henri Vever Collection, January 9, 1986, copy in object file., [4] Upon the death of Jeanne Louise Monthiers, as stipulated in the will of Henri Vever, the family's assets were divided evenly between his two grandchildren. His only grandson, Francois Mautin inherited the collection known as "The Henri Vever Collection of Oriental Art and Manuscripts Including Persian and Indian Art and Manuscripts." This object is part of that collection. See exhibits F and G as cited in note 3., [5] The Arthur M. Sackler Gallery purchased the collection from Francois Mautin on January 9, 1986. See purchase agreement, copy in object file., Research completed June 26, 2022.
