Provenance: Item 6 is a British Museum duplicate, old shelfmark C. 2436; probably sold at the duplicate sale in 1788. Items 7 and 9 were listed in 1738 in Fysher, Catalogus, I 52 and I 609 with the shelfmark BB 8 Med.; the same two items were probably listed in Hyde, Catalogus (1674), I 31 and I 349 (but with date as 1554), with the shelfmark M 6.3 Art.; in James, Catalogus (1620), 24, item 9 is listed with the shelfmark M 6.3 Art.; on p. 15: ‘Tres algorismi cum proportionum vel mercatorum regula M 6.3'; the latter reference probably refers jointly to items 7, 8, and 9 in this volume; James, Catalogue (1605), 286 refers to ‘M. Aniani Compotus cum Com. 1503. Q[uaere] M 5.3'; it therefore seems probable that items 7, 8, and 9 were in the Bodleian Library by 1620 and possibly already by 1605.
Former Bodleian shelfmarks: 4° A 43 Art (items 1, 3, 4, 5, and 10); BB 8 Med. (items 7, 8, and 9).
SHELFMARK: 4° D 21(8) Jur.
