Exeter, Devon, Cathedral church of St Peter: "Hunc librum dat Leofricus episcopus ecclesie sancti petri apostoli in exonia ubi sedes episcopalis est ad utilitatem successorum suorum. Si quis illum abstulerit inde. subiaceat maledictioni. Fiat." (fol. 77v); also OE version. A similar inscription to part 2, on fol. 78r, see Summary Catalogue 2455. Perhaps visible in the 1508 catalogue (Oliver, Lives, p. 368), but second folio gone. (MLGB3: evidence from an ex-libris inscription or note of gift to an institution).
