Provenance

DM in margins (contemporary) (fols. 68v-69r, etc.). Column numbering in a later hand (? s. xiv; cf. notes keyed to index, fol. 127v).

Dore, Herefordshire, Cistercian abbey of St Mary the Virgin : "Liber monachorum Sancte Marie Wallis Dore" (s. xv, on fol. 1v, facing the first page of text). "Liber sancte marie Wallis Dore qui eum fraude furaverit" (s. xv ex.) at end of MS. (fol. 126v). Erased inscription in red and perhaps of s. xiii/ xiv, above the other on fol. 126v, appears to have read "Liber monachorum Sancte Marie Vallis [...]" |(with "Dore" later written over the final word). ( MLGB3: evidence from an ex-libris inscription or note of gift to an institution).
