Provenance: George Davenport (†1677); on the front pastedown: ‘Geo. Davenport. 1648'. Durham, Cosin's Library (Episcopal Library): obliterated inscription on front endleaf: ‘Liber Bibliothecae Episcopalis D[unelmensis] V. I.' According to A. I. Doyle (June 1994) this book was stolen from Durham some time in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century: the book is in the transcript of Rud's catalogue of the medieval manuscripts compiled c.1720-30; see Catalogues of the Library of Durham Cathedral (Surtees Society, 1838). There is no note of its loss in the transcript, but E. V. Stocks noted in his manuscript index to Rud (1913) that it was missing for years prior to 1911, and there is an early pencil note that it is wanting in MS. B. i. 33, a shelf-list of after 1771. James McDonnell (†1845); partly obliterated inscription on front pastedown: from someone with a name possibly ending ‘Dr[?] Peter[?]' ‘of Du[rham]' or perhaps ‘Du[blin]' to ‘James McDonnell esqr of Belfast'; not found in A Catalogue of the Extensive & Valuable Library of the Late James McDonnell . . . to be Sold by Auction by Mr. Hyndman . . . on Wednesday, the 3rd day of January, 1849 (Belfast, 1848). George Smith (fl. 1928-1945); bought by him at an auction in 1928 and announced in a letter to The Times, 28 Nov. 1928. Presented in 1945 by Frank Berenger Benger, and George Smith; see BLR 2 (1945), 112-13.
