Custodial History:

Origin:

Western Germany (Trier).

Provenance:

Written in 1487, probably at Trier: as stated in an explicit on f. 31r: 'Explicit feliciter. Anno domini M.CCCC.lxxxvij'; and another on f. 129r: 'Explicit libellus beati Augustini episcopi. Anno domini M CCCC. Lxxxvii'.

The Benedictine abbey of Santa Maria ad Martyres extra Muros, Trier, owned in the 15th century: its pressmark ('M. 10') and ownership inscription on f. 1r: 'Liber monasterii beate marie ad martyres extra muros Treverenses ordinis sancti benedicti'; and probably their erased ownership inscription on f. [162]verso: 'Codex monasterij de […]' (see Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972), p. 331).

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.
