Provenance and Acquisition

Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, Benedictine abbey of St Edmund, King and Martyr: Bury pressmark 'J.12' altered to 'J.13' top right of fol. 1r. (MLGB3: inferred evidence). The number '175' in upper margin of fol. 1r shows that this was the copy listed by T. James, Ecloga (1600) at Pembroke College, Cambridge, no. 175.

Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, Pembroke College: apparently the MS seen by Thomas James at Pembroke College in 1600 (CMA 2103). If so, it was in the medievsal library, for Bale saw 'H. de Costesaye in Apoc.' at Pembroke (Index, p. 161). (MLGB3: inferred evidence).

William Laud (1573-1645), archbishop of Canterbury. (MLGB3)
