Augustinus, etc. — Sherburn, Co. Durham. Hospital of St Mary the Virgin, Lazarus, Martha and Mary.


Provenance: Sherburn, Co. Durham. Hospital of St Mary the Virgin, Lazarus, Martha and Mary.
Location: Minster Library, York
Shelfmark: XVI.I.11
Author/Title: Augustinus, etc.
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:

A late-15th-cent. inscription, 'Gemma ecclesie constans Capelle Hospitalis de Sherburn'. It would seem more likely that the book relates to this hospital and not those in Sherburn-in-Elmet (Yorks) or even Sherborne (Dorset), since it alone is recorded as owning library books.

Date: s. xii ex
