| CustodialHistory | Formerly bound with MS LAT 1-3 as Phillipps MS 18090. The manuscript belonged to Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872), baronet, an antiquary and bibliophile whose collection included c60,000 manuscripts of various kinds, some relating to the administration of Swiss towns. He apparently bought the manuscript from the antiquary Tross in Paris. Various manuscripts were sold after Sir Thomas's death, some to the German government, and were dispersed to several libraries. |
