Skelton debet librum' (early 16th century), at f. 1r. This name and the mention of Paull (see f. 46v) suggest that at least ff. 1-11 and 12-94 were in Yorkshire early in the 16th century. Sion L40.2/L13-15 were given to Sion College by the same donor in 1664; Sion L40.2/L14 ff. 12-94 and L15 both have a provenance from the East Riding of Yorkshire, near to Kingston upon Hull. 'Ex dono Joh. Abbot', f. 1r, early 17th century, as in Sion L40.2/L13. According to the Sion College Benefactors' Register, John Bradshaw, Rector of St. George's, Botolph Lane, London, gave Sion L40.2/L13-15 in 1664 (Sion L40.2/E64, p. 85).
