Form

codex

Support

Parchment

Physical extent

152 leaves (ii + 150)The edges retrimmed with loss of marginalia and spattered red.

Binding

Standard Merton s. xvii, sewn on six bands; formerly chained from the usual position. An earlier binding had two straps and clasps. Parchment cut from the lower edge of fols. 149–50 has probably removed traces of the large chain-staple.

Provenance

At the foot of fol. i is pencilled ‘Wucstone’, s. xiv, perhaps Master Geoffrey de Wocstone (BRUO 2068), who figured in a legal dispute settled at Oxford in 1354.

At the head of fol. iv is ‘Liber Roberti Myddelond’’, s. xiv. Robert Myddelonde (BRUO 1274) was fellow of Merton 1330–47, canon in four cathedrals simultaneously, d. by Sept. 1367.

At the head of fol. iiv, cropped, ‘Liber domus scolarium de Merton ex dono Magistri Roberti Wyght anno Domini M. CCCC. LXVIII incathenatus.’ This is repeated inside the front board in a hand of s. xvii, with the addition of the words ‘quondam socii’. Whyte (BRUO 2042–3) was fellow c. 1424, no longer in 1433, d. 1461. Appendix B no. 113 (1460–1) records a payment ‘pro uectura librorum Magistri Roberti Wyght legatorum collegii per eundem’.

At the head of fol. 1 is the James no. ‘231’, s. xvii in., wrongly, for this should be MS 45. Inside the front board is a sheet of paper with the contents and ‘N. 2. 8. Art:’, s. xvii, canc. and replaced with ‘B. 2. 8 (XX)’, in red ink. The College bookplate. ‘8’ is inked on the foredge
