Provenance: Launde, Leicestershire. Augustinian priory of St John the Baptist.
Location: Eton College , Eton
Shelfmark: 120
Author/Title: Augustinus, Anselmus, Boetius
Type of evidence: i: evidence from an inscription of ownership by an individual member of a religious house (which may not, however, be evidence for institutional ownership)
Notes on evidence:

"Liber fratris Iohannis de Burgo prior|is de la [....]alibus | [...] istum librum uendiderit absque | mera voluntate nostra. Nos frater Iohannes | prior de la[...] eum vel eos in his scrip|tis excommunicamus [...] | [...] anno gracie MCCC<o> octavo decimo"; this, read by MRJ with the help of a reagent, is now partly legible, but the words "prioris de la [...]" and "prior de la[...]" cannot be made out. MRJ identifies Iohannes de Burgo with the prior of Launde (Leics.), 1309–1319.

Date: s. xiv
Ownership:

Given to Eton by Master John Borowe.
