In the mid-16th century, the manuscript belonged to a Florentine, Andrea Sardelli, who, on 19th June 1550, wrote an inventory of his library onto f. 4v of this manuscript, where it is referred to as 'Io [= uno] chanzoniere di carta pechora franzesse coperto dasse.' On f. 94r, the following note is written, beneath a short added four-voice piece 'sir ieronimo di monopoli me fecit 1547 [sic - not a 1541] in burgo sancti laurencii E ser andrea sardellj la scricto in quisto libro'. The manuscript was already in the Biblioteca Riccardiana by the 1810 inventory of manuscripts. (Plamenac 1954, RISM)
