Provenance:
William Dugdale (b. 1605, d. 1686), antiquary and herald: written in his hand (see Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972), pp. 139-41).
George Hickes (b. 1642, d. 1715), bishop of the nonjuring Church of England and antiquary: his name inscribed on f. 1r: ‘Mr Hickes’; given by him to Harley (see Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972), p. 189).
The Harley Collection, formed by Robert Harley (1661-1724), 1st earl of Oxford and Mortimer, politician, and Edward Harley (1689-1741), 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 (1694-1755) during her lifetime and thereafter to their daughter, Margaret Cavendish Bentinck (1715-1785), duchess of Portland; the manuscripts were sold by the Countess and the Duchess in 1753 to the nation for £10,000 under the Act of Parliament that also established the British Museum; the Harley manuscripts form one of the foundation collections of the British Library.
