Owned by John Batteley (1647-1708), clergyman and antiquary. Bought with other MSS. from his collection on 5 Nov. 1723 from his nephew John by Edward Harley (1689-1741), 2nd earl of Oxford and Mortimer, book collector and patron of the arts, the date of the purchase marked on f. 1 by Harley's librarian, Humfrey Wanley (1672-1726): see C. E. Wright and R. C. Wright, Diary of Humfrey Wanley (London, 1966), ii, p. 263 n. 1; C. E. Wright, Fontes Harleiani (London, 1972), pp. 66-67, 259, 456. Bequeathed with Edward's library to his widow, Henrietta, née Cavendish Holles (1694-1755), during her lifetime and thereafter to their daughter, Margaret Cavendish Bentinck (1715-1785), duchess of Portland. Sold with the other Harley manuscripts by the countess and the duchess in 1753 to the nation for £10,000 (a fraction of their contemporary value) under the Act of Parliament that also established the British Museum. The Harleian manuscripts became part of the collections of the British Library on its establishment in 1973. Harley shelfmarks '143.C.26 / 5396' in black ink and '18/I A' in pencil on f. i.
