Custodial history
Owned perhaps by J. Ames in 1747 (see foll. 186, 193v), and afterwards by sir Peter Thompson: in the Thompson sale in April, 1815, it was bought by messrs. W. Clarke & Sons, London booksellers, who sold it to the Delegates of the Clarendon Press, and from it the Oxford edition of 1820 was printed.
Acquisition
When their purpose had been thus fulfilled, the delegates no doubt presented the volume to the Bodleian in around 1890.
