Binding
White sheepskin on reused boards over older sewing, central boss wanting, English 15th-cent. (?) work, rebacked and repaired.
Provenance
Glastonbury, Somerset, Benedictine Abbey of Saint Mary the Virgin: "Dunstan abbas hunc librum scribere iussit" (s. x). (MLGB3: evidence from an inscription of ownership by an individual member of a religious house (which may not, however, be evidence for institutional ownership)).
Worcester, Worcestershire, Benedictine cathedral priory of St Mary the Virgin: "... beate Marie Wygom" (s. xv). Written at Glastonbury, but not in the catalogue of 1248. Possibly taken to Worcester by Dunstan. Cf. Turner, Early Worcester MSS., p. lxv. Turner, Lat. 9. The wooden boards show reflexes of two leaves of the same missal s. xi in. as is in the binding of MS. Hatton 93. (MLGB3: evidence from an ex-libris inscription or note of gift to an institution)
"Mr Herle" (s. xvi).
