M CCCC o XX o quarto, quos libros, Portiphorium suple cum suo diurnali, volo ut post obitum meum habeat sacrista monasterii supradicti ... vel alius eiusdem loci monachus quem sacrista duxerit eliqendum pro usu predictorum librorum habendo, quamdiu ocupans vixerit in humanis, et quod prefati duo libri transeant de uno ad alium" (fol. 25v). (MLGB3: evidence from an inscription of ownership by an individual member of a religious house (which may not, however, be evidence for institutional ownership)).
Richard Rawlinson, 1690–1755
