History
Provenance and Acquisition
Convent of Austin Friars, Droitwich. MLGB3: 'An inscription s.xiv on fol. Iii verso has been read no doubt correctly as "Iste est liber [fratrum] Iohannis [Dentone senioris et iunioris ordinis] sancti augustini conuentus [Wichie] in quo contintentur …" but the bracketed words are not now quite certainly legible by uv light, as a reagent has been used.
"Was a caucio in the ... chest a.d. 13r [?]" (nearly legible inscription on fol. iii recto.')
Given by William Smith (or Smyth), founder of Brasenose College. Manuscript inscription on folio '2': Liber Aule regie & Collegij de Brasenose Ex dono Gul. Smith.
