Physical extent
viii + 120 leaves
Binding
Plain white sheepskin on boards, English 15th (?) cent. work.
Acquisition
Presented by sir Walter Cope in 1602.
Provenance
'constat John Rolygh (?)', fol. 113, 15th century (MLGB) (read in the Summary Catalogue as Rolyn, Rolynh, or Rolynntes; by C.-G. Undhagen as Rolynns).
Perhaps at Syon Abbey - see MLGB: 'The second folio agrees with the copy listed in Betson's catalogue, but there is no other evidence to tie the book to Syon. There is an English ownership inscription at the end of the book for John Rolygh, and yet the donor to Syon was Thomas Fishbourn, who died in 1428. 'The balance of probability is perhaps against this book's having been at Syon' (Gillespie, Syon Abbey, p. 241).'
