Provenance
Exeter, Devon, Cathedral church of St Peter: "Liber Sancti Petri Exoniensis. Si quis illum subtraxerit aut alienaverit, eterne subiaceat maledictioni. Amen." (fol. ii verso), s. xii ex.; cf. fol. iv verso (s. xiv ex). (MLGB3: evidence from an ex-libris inscription or note of gift to an institution).
Identifiable in the Exeter inventory of 1327 (CBMLC (forthcoming), SC 20.187). According to the inventory the book was given to Exeter by 'Payn the chaplain' but Willoughby suggests the true donor was Master Robert de Hanc. Running-titles, corrections and notes in the hand of Bishop John Grandisson.
