Acquisition
The entry in the 1602 catalogue may be an addition, but in any case the volume undoubtedly came to the Library not later than 1604.
Provenance
There is some 16th cent. scribbling on several leaves, among which are ' Edward op Thomaspocidet hunc librum ex Llanvichillim', Llanvillo in Brecon (?: fol. 179), ' William Poter' (fol. 134v), 'Adam Benet' (fol. 108v), cf. 111, 157, 194, 205.
This volume must be the one described as 'Jo. Swetstock sermones anglico-lat. MS. in 4to' in the 1602 catalogue, and that name is in a nearly erased entry on fol. 8.
