Iohannes Balbus, Catholicon — Oxford, Oxfordshire. Augustinian priory of St Frideswide.
Provenance: | Oxford, Oxfordshire. Augustinian priory of St Frideswide. |
Location: | Mr D. L. Cumming, Coulsdon, Surrey |
Author/Title: | Iohannes Balbus, Catholicon |
Type of evidence: | e: evidence from an ex-libris inscription or note of gift to an institution |
Notes on evidence: | 'Precium istius liber, iiij s. iiij d. / dominus Wyllielmus Wyssheter dedit hunc / librum ad cenobiam sancte Frideswyde virginis.' This ex dono inscription is followed by a later note in another hand that Wyssheter had sold it to William Moll for 2s. 6d. Whether it ever reached St Frideswide's is therefore uncertain. |
Date: | Venice, 1497/8 |
