Provenance

MLGB3: from the library of Syon Abbey, identifiable in Betson's catalogue as M.44. on the basis of contents and second folio. 'Ex dono M. Iohannis Steyke et pro quibus tenetur' (fols. 1r, 72r). There are vellum tags or remnants thereof as are often found in Syon books, but there is no Syon list of contents or binding label. The beginning of each new piece is marked by a tag, projecting from the fore-edge. It is folded over and pasted down to both sides of the leaf.

Manuscript inscription at head of first leaf: "Ex dono M. Joh[ann]is Steyke …" [repeated on verso]. John Steyke (c. 1454-1513).
