Acquisition
Donated to the Bodleian, 1634.
Provenance
Oxford, Oxfordshire, Merton College: Marginalia in hand of Simon Bredon. A copy of the work was in his bequest to Merton (Powicke, Books of Merton, no. 383, pp. 84, 142) but since 2 o folio is not cited there the identification is uncertain. (MLGB3: evidence from the style of script or illumination).
Kenelm Digby, 1603–1665
