Acquisition
Presented by the dean and chapter of Exeter in 1602. By accident this MS. escaped numeration in the Old Catalogue of 1697. In 1655 it was NE. C. 6. 15, but perhaps the two last volumes on that shelf (this and no. 2123* [MS. Bodl. 230]) were temporarily moved away, for the last volume recognized in the Old Catalogue is no. 13
Provenance
Exeter Cathedral: identifiable in the catalogues of 1327 and 1506 (MLGB3)
MS. Bodl. 683 (pars i) and MS. Bodl. 253 (pars ii) form one set (MLGB3)
