Origin: Paris, Central France.
Provenance:
A workshop in Paris: Stirnemann and Schmidt-Kunstmüller, following De Hamel, have argued that the manuscript should be regarded as belonging to a group of related manuscripts produced in Paris before 1146; see De Hamel, Glossed Books (1984), p. 75; Schmidt-Kunstmüller, Die Abendländischen (1985), p. 49; Stirnemann, `Où ont été fabriqués les livres de la glose ordinaire' (1994), pp. 267-68.
An unknown 15th-century owner: added a title 'Evangelia Luce evangelia glosata' (f. 1r).
'William Yonge', in 1649: his name is inscribed on f. 1r: ‘Ex dono Guil. Yonge Dr medic. 1649. Pembroch’.
'William Brodhurst', in 1650: his name was inscribed on f. 1r but it is now illegible due to damage; in 1901 the inscription on f.1r read ‘Wm.(?) Brodhurst his booke, 1650’; see the Catalogue of Additions to the Manuscripts in the British Museum in the Years 1894-1899 (1901), p. 195.
Maurice Johnson (b. 1688, d. 1755), antiquary, barrister and librarian to the Society of Antiquaries: a portion of his library, including this book, was sold at Sotheby's, London, 24 March 1898, lot 1027 (see the note on f. [i] recto). Purchased by the British Museum through Bernard Quaritch for £31.10.
