Provenance
Inscription in black ink manuscript at the head of leaf AA3r: Monasterii SS. Udal. & Afræ Augustae. The book was in the possession of the Benedictine abbey of Saints Ulrich and Afra in Augsburg.
On the front pastedown is a bookplate featuring a shield containing a sculpted capital beneath a pine cone. The bookplate has been coloured in watercolours, the pine cone in green, the capital in grey, the decoration around the edge of the shield in yellow, and the background of the shield is divided vertically in two, red on the left and white on the right.
Coloured armorial bookplate of Sir Edward Allen Brotherton on the recto of the front free endpaper. The book was most likely acquired before 17 June 1929 when Brotherton was created Baron Brotherton of Wakefield.
