Custodial history
After Jan Meerman's death, his library was sold at the Hague in 1824 (printed books, June 8-30; MSS. July 1-3). Of the latter class there were 1086 lots, of which sir Thomas Phillipps secured a large proportion (MSS. Phillipps 1388-2010, 3078-87, 6756-82, now at Berlin, having been bought "en bloc" by the Royal Library in 1887), and the Bodleian 58 volumes. The purchase list of 1824 contains a description of all the books acquired at the sale, which dr. Gaisford personally attended.
The MSS. which had belonged to the Jesuit college of Clermont at Paris, and perhaps the majority of the rest, were acquired by Geraard Meerman in 1764: and of the MSS. which came to the Bodleian, nearly all came from that source (see the catalogue of the collection, Paris, 1764), some of them having previously belonged to the abbey of St. Vincent at Metz.
Acquisition
The manuscripts were purchased at the Hague in 1824.
