Provenance and Acquisition
Made mainly by and presumably for John Wyliot (BRUO 2119), who doubtless gave or left it to the College. He was fellow of Merton in 1338, no longer in 1347–8, d. by Dec. 1383. Perhaps to be identified with the record of payment ‘in luicione[sic] libri Wylioti et est Albertus super naturali philosophia’ (Appendix B, no. 62, dated 1379).
On fols. i and 5 is the James no. ‘99’, s. xvii in. Inside the front board is a sheet of paper with table of contents, s. xvii, and ‘Q. 2. 1. Art:’, canc. and replaced with ‘O. 2. 1 (CCLXXXV)’ in red; the College bookplate.
