Custodial history
Manuscript 1587 acquired by the Bodleian Library (203). Belonged in whole or in part to Thomas Allen of Gloucester Hall.
The calendar at fol. 156 'was clearly written in an Augustinian house in Wales or the border counties', note in the official Catalogue). [Cadoc is suggestive of the Monmouthshire region. The Paschal cycle on f. 162v was apparently written between the Easters of 1132 and 1133. In 9. the 'rejected' leaves are not part of the same gathering with those which precede. On f. 155v a head is drawn with a dry point. Under 11. read Vichtredum. E. W. B. N.]
