Provenance:
The parish church of Risby, Suffolk, ? late 15th century: its ownership inscription on f. 162r: 'Iste liber constat ecclesie de Rysbey in comitatu de Suffolke. Ordinele' (see Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972), p. 286).
Thomas Sturgeon, early 16th century: inscribed his name (‘Thomas Storgon’) on f. 162r, perhaps the third son of Roger Sturgeon (d. 1551) of Manston in the parish of Whepstead, Suffolk, close to Risby (see Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972), p. 319).
Johannes Hatche of Risby, Suffolk, 16th century: his name inscribed on f. 162v: 'Joh[ann]es Hatche de Rysby' (see Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972), p. 181).
Edward Stillingfleet (b. 1635, d. 1699), Bishop of Worcester: according to Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972), p. 316.
Edward Stillingfleet (b. 1661, d. 1708), physician and Church of England clergyman, son of the former; inherited his father’s collection; his manuscripts were bought for £175 in 1707 by Robert Harley (see Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972), p. 316).
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 the 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.
