Custodial History:

Origin:

Bordeaux, France.

Provenance:

Copied in Bordeaux by various students of lectures by David Echlinus [Echlin]; their names are inscribed in the lower margins throughout the manuscript.

Henry Worsley (b.1675, d. 1741), scholar and manuscript collector, envoy at the court of Portugal (1714-21) and governor of Barbados (1721-31): donated to Robert Harley before December 1712 together with other manuscripts from his collection (now Harley MSS 1585-1747, 1811, 1812) before December 1712 (see Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972), p. 361).

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.
