Custodial History

Manuscripts 530-531 acquired by the Bodleian Library.

MS. Bodl. 497 bears the name 'Rogue da Costa' on fol. 335v, that of 'P. Gaspar Coelho' (cp. no. 2546) occurs on fol. 324 of MS. Bodl. 498. Fols. 320-324 were formerly in the binding of MS. Bodl. 498; fol. 324 is a leaf of a Latin antiphoner written in Spain in the 15th cent.; it is by error that the bindings of MS. Bodl. 103 and MS. Bodl. 105 are stated to be part of the same MS.; they are leaves of different antiphoncrs, each different from the present one.
