Form

codex

Support

parchment FHHF

Physical extent

289 leaves, preceded by two 18th-century paper flyleaves and two medieval membrane flyleaves, and followed by two 18th-century paper flyleaves.

Hands

All sections are written by different scribes.

Binding

Sewn on six bands between millboards covered with reversed calf decorated with a blind roll with a delicate floral pattern, arranged to form panels (s. xviii).

Provenance

Although A–E are written by different scribes they share a decorator and were probably produced and put together by the same workmen.

On fol. iiir are two thoroughly erased inscriptions. That at the top of the page is of at least twelve lines and the other of five lines. Neither is recoverable by ultraviolet light or infrared photography but the second is evidently an ex dono inscription, beginning ‘Istum librum Robertas Rg Cancellarius ecclesie beati Petri Exon.’ The last line ended with a date, ‘anno domini millesimo cccc nono.’ The donor is evidently Robert Rygge (Regge, Rigge, Rugge, Ryge, etc.), chancellor 1400–1410, and the book is presumably one of those referred to in the Rector’s Accounts for 1410, payment ‘pro tribus cathenis ad cathenand’ libros legatos per M. Robertum Rygge et M. Johannem Lydeford.’ On Rygge, fellow and visitor of Exeter College, Chancellor of the University of Oxford, benefactor to Exeter College, etc. see BRUO, Rygge. On Lydeford, d. 1407, see ibid., but no books from his bequest have been identified. Ecloga, no. 17, CMA, no. 46.

Exeter library identifications are, on the front pastedown: bookplate 3, ‘C2—9’ (deleted), ‘Ex: Coll: Oxon:’, ‘Q8–11 Gall’ (deleted), ‘172–E–7’, ‘Coxe MS XXXI’ (pencil); and, on fol. ivv, bookplate 1. ‘7’ is on a paper label at the top of the spine.
