Form

codex

Support

Vellum (FSOS/FHHF).

Physical extent

Fols. viii (numbered fols. i–iii, 1–5) + 196(numbered fols. 6–201) + iii (numbered fols. iv–vi).

Binding

A modern replacement. Sewn on four thongs. At the front, a marbled paper leaf (dated ‘1907’ on the verso) and two modern paper flyleaves; at the rear, two modern paper flyleaves and another marbled paper leaf (iv–vi).

Provenance

‘Liber Fratris [erased] in quo continentur hec’, heading a contents table for the whole, numbered to 39 items (four added) (fol. 4v).

Ex prouisione Fratris Thome RusselLiber Monasterij sancti Martini de Bello Qui dicitur traditio patrum cum alijs [BVRG added at the end of the line] Et dicit liber iste tractatus Thome de aquino’ (fol. 4, s. xv), a reference to item 26 (?) (Ker, MLGB8, 229).

‘Caleb Burdett possidet me’ (fol. 3, s. xvi in., beneath an erased ownership inscription). This would suggest that the volume, like others from Burdett, was part of John Stonor’s donation, although that is not noted in either the MS or the Benefactors’ Book.
