Custodial history

Copied by a single scribe, employed by Edward Paston of Norfolk. This set of part-books (369-373) formerly belonged to Joseph Warren who presumably bought it at the sale of Benjamin Cooke's library in 1845. The books were repaired in 1921 at the British Museum when new backs had to be provided, although the original covers were retained.
