Historical notes include one of the burning of Malton by the Scots in 1321 (fol. 9v). Later apparently belonged to Knaresboro', to judge by entries. Cf. S.C. v Corrigenda 13704. (MLGB3: evidence from locally specific contents, including obits, scribbles, etc.).
Knaresborough, Yorkshire, Trinitarian convent: Kalendar originally for Kirkham, with Knaresborough additions (cf. S.C. v Corrigenda no. 13704). See entries for 1432, 1434 on fol. 10v, and for 1269 (in hand of s. xv) on fol. 7v. (MLGB3: evidence from locally specific contents, including obits, scribbles, etc.).
Belonged to Ralph Thoresby, see Ducatus Leodiensis (ed. 1816), p. 135, where it is described as being kept in a Sprig-work case, each leaf being folded in three.
