Provenance and Acquisition

Written in 1501 by Caspar Olaer Blomenhawer, of Freinsheim: colophon, fol. 96r.

Watson's tentative ascription to the Mainz Carthusians is not warranted by the source he cites (Heinrich Schreiber Die Bibliothek der ehemaligen Mainzer Kartause: die Handschriften und ihre Geschichte, Leipzig, 1927, p. 145) and the present manuscript is not listed by Krämer or Mairhofer.

William Laud, 1573–1645, 1638.

Part of his third donation to the Bodleian, 1639.
