Acquisition
The Summary Catalogue suggests that the manuscript arrived at the Bodleian Library around 1603–4, if it can be identified with a Gloss on the Psalter listed in the 1605 catalogue. Pressmarks: (2723) Bod. 860 (fol. ir); Mod 124 (fols. i verso and 1r); Th S 5.8 (fol. i verso), Sup. D. Art N. 124 (fol. 1r).
Provenance
Bury St Edmunds Abbey: pressmark ·B·233·, fol. i verso, categorizing it with other commentaries on the Psalms. See Richard Sharpe, ‘Reconstructing the Medieval Library of Bury St Edmunds Abbey: The Lost Catalogue of Henry of Kirkstead’, in Bury St Edmunds: Medieval Art, Architecture, Archaeology, and Economy, ed. Antonia Gransden, Conference Transactions 20 (Leeds: British Archaeological Association, 1998), 204–18.
William Smart (died 1599), who gave many Bury St Edmunds books to:
Pembroke College, Cambridge; listed in Thomas James, Ecloga Oxonio-Cantabrigiensis (London, 1600), no. 149. Incorrectly shown as part of the Pembroke collection in Edward Bernard, Catalogi librorum manuscriptorum Angliæ et Hiberniæ in unum collecti (Oxford, 1697), no. 2077; this only follows James.
