Acquisition
Donated by him to the Bodleian, 1634.
Provenance
Wrongly included in Dated and Datable Manuscripts in Oxford Libraries, no. 423, as 1361 × 1376: the evidence adduced (that events before 1361 are referred to in the past tense, events after 1376 in the future tense) relates to the date of the text rather than the manuscript. The terminus a quo is c. 1362–4, when the commentary was written (M. Curley, 'The Cloak of Anonymity and the 'Prophecy of John of Bridlington'', Modern Philology 77(4), 361–369).
