Location: Peterhouse, Cambridge
Shelfmark: 247
Author/Title: Miscellanea medica
Type of evidence: e: evidence from an ex-libris inscription or note of gift to an institution

"Liber sancte Marie Magdalene de Lanrecost si quis inde eum asportauerit anathema sit" at foot of first leaf of pt. iii.

Date: s. xii, xiii
Notes:

It seems likely that the whole MS. (pts. i–ix) is from Lanercost. Pt. ix has the inscription "Liber ffratris Nich. de Morland ex dono Willelmi de Langedale [s. xiii, xiv] cuius usum proprium idem Nicholaus concessit cessit [sic] domino Iohanni de Buchcaster [?]" (from MRJ). Morland and Langdale are in Westmoreland.
