History
Provenance and Acquisition
The two parts of the present volume, separate at Lorsch, were (as pointed out by Kautz) still separate when they were taken from Lorsch to Eberbach, since only part B has the 13th-century quire signatures found in some Lorsch/Eberbach manuscripts (see further Quarto Catalogue, p. xxv).
The two parts were bound together by 1502, when they are listed as a single volume (I 6) in the Eberbach library catalogue: N. Palmer, Zisterzienser und ihre Bücher (1998), p. 241
William Laud, 1573–1645, acquired 1638 after the disperal of the Eberbach library in the Thirty Years' War.
Part of his third donation to the Bodleian, given in 1639.
