Form

codex

Support

Vellum (FSOS/FHHF).

Physical extent

Fols. ii + 135 (numbered fols. 1–134, iii) + i (numbered fol. iv); an accurate original foliation in top right corners.

Hands

Written in anglicana (frequent secretary a), a second scribe for items 33–5, and fol. 12rv in John Dygon’s usual hand. Punctuation by medial point.

Decoration

Headings in red at the start, later left blank, sometimes supplied in text ink.

2- and 3-line blue lombards, unflourished, at the openings of texts.

Frequent ochre-slashed capitals to divide texts. Scattered ochre-painted pointing hands in the margins. Intermittent early modern annotation.

Binding

A modern replacement. Sewn on six thongs. At the front, two medieval vellum flyleaves (a bifolium, the first perhaps once a pastedown and now with a fifteenth-century table of contents and a College bookplate on the verso); at the rear, one modern paper flyleaf (iv).

Acquisition

‘Liber Collegii Sancti Iohannis Baptistae ex dono Thomae Walkerin Artibus Magistri ejusdemque Collegii Socij’ (fol. 2, the upper margin).

Provenance

An inscription after the final explicit, scraped and illegible under ultraviolet light (fol. 134).

‘Orate pro animabus Iohannis Dygon ’ presbiteri et Reclusi de Bethelem de Shene et domine Iohanne Anachorite sancti Botulphi ecclesie extra Bysschoppysgate London’ qui hunc librum dederunt Exon’ Collegio Oxon’ ad vsum ibidem existencium studencium et verbum dei predicare volencium ad dei honorem et ad suorum et aliorum animarum salutem Animabus predictorum Iohannis et Iohanne et omnium fidelium defunctorum misereatur trinitas increata amen amen Ihesus et Maria amen’ (fol. 2, the lower margin, in anglicana, s. xv2/4). Dygon was an Oxford-trained lawyer, who became the fifth recluse of Sheen in 1435; Emden (BRUO 615–16)cites seven books he left to Magdalen College, a list capable of considerable expansion. Ker, MLGB 146, 290, as only an Exeter College book.
