Acquisition
Cuthbert Ridley presented four MSS. in 1601, two of which are described in the Benefactors' Register as 'Diuersa opuscula Ambros. fo. MS.', and 'Diuersa opuscula August. fo. MS.', which are at present believed to be nos. 1904, 2475 (which are otherwise unaccounted for). It is possible that the present volume is represented by the two entries above, but probable that it was an independent or additional gift not later than 1602.
Provenance
Doesburg, Holland, Brothers of the Common Life (Domus Clericorum): 'Liber domus Clericorum in Doesborch', 15th cent.
William James, -1617: 'The bott of me John Gybson in Doisberow and sent to Doctear James Deanne of Christ Cherche in Oxford the 3 of September 1586.'
