Custodial history

The name of dr. William Dudley bp. of Durham (d. 1483) is on fol. 2*. The two 'owners', Maxton and Birkhead, were both prebendaries of Durham, to which the MS. had doubtless belonged: original ascription of ownership apparently cut away. Manuscript 1893 acquired by the Bodleian Library
