Provenance

Mainz, Charterhouse St Michael: MS. Laud Misc. 75 is composed of three different parts, one of which was supplemented in the Mainz Charterhouse, in the 15th century (part A). The list of contents on fol. 44v (quoted under C) Provenance), inserted at the Charterhouse in a hand of s. xv, is evidence that the book existed in its present form already at the time when the inscription was inserted; it was, however, larger then, with Homilies by Gregory the Great, the seven Canonical Epistles as well as Apocalypse preceding current item 1; there was probably also more text at the end.

William Laud, 1573–1645: his ex-libris inscription, dated 1638, at the lower margin of fol. 1r.
