- Provenance
- Purchased from Sam Fogg, June 1995. Inscribed, s. XV, "D(omi)n(u)s Robert(us) Clarell Iunior[?]" (f. 85). Inscribed, s. XVI, perhaps with a price(?) "vjd" or "vjs"(?) (turn-in of front cover); "lib. no. 23" (f. 173); and with a copy of an obligation between William Powes of Hordely (about three miles south of Ellesmere), Shropshire, and Humfrey Baker, of Bagley (about three miles south of Hordely) (f. 94r; cf. ff. 93v, 94v). Inscribed, s. XVII, "J. James" and "John" (ff. 140, 161). Inscribed s. XVII/XVIII: "vid. Ridley view[?] &c. 210" (front turn-in), doubtless a reference to Sir Thomas Ridley's A Vievv of the Ciuile and Ecclesiasticall Law ...; the same owner was perhaps also responsible for the foliation of ff. 1-50 and probably also a note on the contents on f. 172v. Hodgson, London auctioneers, sold 21 November 1957, lot 492; Maggs Bros, London book-dealers, with their acquisition note and price code in pencil "H/11/57 / esso" (f. 173; i.e. Hodgson's, Nov. 1957, £50); their Catalogue 854 (1958), no. 60; inscribed in pencil with a reference to this catalog and price: "60/854", "£70", and "add" (f. 1, top margin). Robin Jared Stanley Howard (1924-89), C.B.E., patron of ballet and the performing arts (on whom see ODNB), Director General of the Contemporary Dance Trust, for whose benefit it was sold at Sotheby's, 6 December, 1993, lot 51; bought by Fogg; Sam Fogg Rare Books Ltd, with their stock number "1071" (f. 172v); their Catalogue 16 (1995), no. 104 with plate; acquired by the Huntington from Sam Fogg in June 1995.
