Acquisition
Given to the Bodleian as part of his third donation, dispatched on 28 June 1639.
Provenance
Mainz, Charterhouse St Michael: Five, originally separate, parts. The late medieval tab markers to parts A, B, D & E and the 15th-cent. list of contents, which itemizes the contents of these four fascicles, are evidence that at least parts A, B, D & E were already bound together in the 15th century at the Mainz Charterhouse. The volume was originally larger, containing three more items.
William Laud, 1573–1645: his ex libris, 1638, fol. 2r.
