Provenance: Bath, Somerset. Benedictine cathedral priory of St Saviour, St Peter, and St Paul.
Location: British Library, London
Shelfmark: Royal 6 B.i
Author/Title: Gregorius
Type of evidence: c: evidence from locally specific contents, including obits, scribbles, etc.
Notes on evidence:

The nine Royal manuscripts belonged to Cranmer. 3 B.xvi is probably in the same hand as 6 C.xi. The marginalia in 5 D. iv, 5 D.v, 5 D.vi, and perhaps 5 D.vii are in the same hand as marginalia in 6 C.xi. 5 B.ii resembles 6 B.i in script and decoration.

At end (fol. 123r): 'Iohannes Dunster ob'. Dunster prauus. Iohannes Salisbury i d. Salisbury nunquam vigil.' John Salisbury was sub-almoner in 1447 (Reg. Bekyngton, ii. 435); John Dunster was precentor in 1458 (Reg. Bekyngton, i. 309). Are these notes of fines in chapter?

Date: s. xii
Ownership:

Cranmer, Thomas (1489–1556), archbishop of Canterbury.
