Origin: ?Abingdon, Southeastern England.
Provenance:
?Benedictine abbey of St Mary, Abingdon: The reference to Abingdon in the entry for 977 in both the B-text of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and the related C-text (Cotton MS Tiberius B I, ff. 115v-164r) has led some scholars to attribute their production to Abingdon, although this evidence is circumstantial and doubted.
?Christ Church Cathedral Priory, Canterbury: later inscriptions, annotations, and marks may have been added there (for example, f. 35r-v).
St Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury: owned, according to John Joscelyn (Cotton Nero C II, f. 208r).
John Twyne (d. 1581), master of the free grammar school at Canterbury: owned, according to John Joscelyn (Cotton Nero C II, f. 208r).
Laurence Nowell (b. 1530, d. c.1570), antiquary: copied extracts (now Additional 43703).
John Joscelyn (b. 1529, d. 1603), Old English scholar and Church of England clergyman: annotated Cotton Tiberius A VI, copied (Oxford, Bodleian Library, Laud Misc 661).
