Provenance

Waltham, Essex, Augustinian abbey of Holy Cross: 'Liber ecclesie Sancte Crucis de Waltham, quem qui a dicta ecclesia alienauerit anathema sit. Amen.' (s. xv)

'Hunc librum dedit nobis Petrus Londonie archidiaconus cuius anima requiescat in pace amen' s. xiii on fol. 1v, flyleaf; MLGB3 suggests Peter of Newport, c. 1240; Houts suggests Peter of Waltham, fl. 1190-5( MLGB3)

Old pastedowns gone. The 'pressmark' s. xiiii noted by MRJ ( Trans. Essex Archaeol. Soc.) appears to refer to MS. Rawl. D. 1228, not this manuscript, and to be there in a modern hand. Medieval column numbering in the earlier part of the manuscript ( MLGB3)

Walter Clavell, 4o, 4 (Enright, 'Rawlinson', app. B).

Richard Rawlinson, 1690–1755
