Custodial history
By his will dated 20 December 1741 and codicil of 25 February 1758, Willis gave his manuscripts and coins to the Bodleian, the former 'to be placed in the School Gallery next to those of my friend Bishop Tanner,' and the latter to be visited annually on St. Frideswide's Day, October 19. He had before his death made many valuable gifts of coins, and had allowed the University to purchase his gold ones.

The manuscripts were received at the Library on 24 April 1760.
