Origin:
England.
Provenance:
John Robartes (b. 1606, d. 1685), 1st Earl of Radnor in 1679: sold at the shop of James Woodman in Covent Garden on 2 May 1721 as lot 15 (see Diary, ed. by Wright and Wright (1966), II, p. 102 n. 8; Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972), p. 287).
James Woodman (d. 1728), bookseller at Russel St. Covent Garden: handled the sale of the Earl of Radnor’s library on 2 May 1721; purchased by Harley (see Wright, Fontes Harleiani (1972), p. 359).
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, inscribed as usual by their librarian, Humfrey Wanley ‘4 May 1721’ (f. i recto).
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.
