Other Finding Aids

Falconer Madan, et al., A summary catalogue of western manuscripts in the Bodleian Library at Oxford which have not hitherto been catalogued in the Quarto series (7 vols. in 8 [vol. II in 2 parts], Oxford, 1895-1953; reprinted, with corrections in vols. I and VII, Munich, 1980), vol. V, nos. 27970, 27974.

Immediate Source of Acquisition

The manuscripts accompanied a donation of coins by Thomas Knight esq., of Godmersham Park, Kent, made in 1795.

Three other manuscripts (formerly MSS. Num. d. 7-9) were originally part of the collection (three catalogues of coins). These were transferred to the Ashmolean Museum on 18 December 1920).
