Provenance:
The Benedictine abbey of St Mary the Virgin, Tewkesbury: this part of the manuscript contains the Abbey’s annals (see Ker, Medieval Libraries (1964), p. 188).
?John Selden (b. 1584, d. 1654), lawyer and historical and linguistical scholar: according to Cotton’s loan catalogue, he had acquired the manuscript from Selden (Annales de Tewxbury I had of Mr Selden lent to Mr Vincent’). In order to resolve the seemingly conflicting information about how Cotton acquired Tewkesbury Abbey’s annals (see the provenance of Cotton MS Cleopatra A VII, ff. 3-69), Tite suggests that Selden’s manuscript may have contained the cartulary instead of the annals (see Tite, The Early Records (2003), pp. 208-09).
