- Description
-
- From its fifteenth century folio numbering, this manuscript on
parchment written in 'secretary' is clearly an excerpt from a much
larger volume. It is unclear from what codex these folios may have
been extracted. Early signs of use include some erased notes on the
subject matter and the name 'Richard' (upside down, fol. 8v). What
is definite is that this quire had been separated from its parent
by the early eighteenth century, when Thomas Hearne saw this
manuscript and used it as the base text for his edition of
Cantilupe's text. We can date his acquaintance with our manuscript:
in his diary, he noted on 9th March 1712 that he had examined 'in
the Dean of Xt Church's Study' the books of Henry Aldrich (who was
recently deceased) and among them was Cantilupe's Historiola
Cantabrigiensis. See David Rundle, 'Nicholas Cantilupe and Thomas
Hearne in Christ Church', Christ Church Library Newsletter, 8
(2011-12), 34-35.
