Custodial History:

Provenance:

Owned by the Cathedral Church of St Peter and St Wilfrid, Ripon, 17th century (ff. 1r, 304v; Fontes p. 286). Purchased from Thomas Mangey, D.D., for the Harleian Library, 22 June 1726 (f. 1r; Diary pp. 348 n. 5, 415 n. 4, 421; Fontes p. 232).

The Harley Collection, formed by Robert Harley (b. 1661, d. 1724), 1st earl of Oxford and Mortimer, politician, and Edward Harley (b. 1689, d. 1741), 2nd earl of Oxford and Mortimer, book collector and patron of the arts.

Edward Harley bequeathed the library to his widow, Henrietta Cavendish, née Holles (b. 1694, d. 1755) during her lifetime and thereafter to their daughter, Margaret Cavendish Bentinck (b. 1715, d. 1785), duchess of Portland; the manuscripts were sold by the Countess and Duchess in 1753 to the nation for £10,000 (a fraction of their contemporary value) under the Act of Parliament that also established the British Museum; the Harley manuscripts form one of the foundation collections of the British Library.
