Origin:
England.
Provenance:
? ‘Samuell Waker’, owned in the 17th century: his name inscribed on f. 1*recto (not in Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972)).
Henry Parker (fl. mid-17th century), arms painter, owned the manuscript: his name inscribed on f. 1*recto: ‘Liber Henrici Parker’ (see Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972), pp. 267-68).
William Shires (fl. 17th-18th centuries), arms painter of Southwark: probably bought from him by Harley (see Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972), p. 304).
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.
