CustodialHistoryThis small collection of deeds was found in 2014 boxed with the collection of MS fragments (see MS FRAG), but the provenance of the deeds is unknown. Some have damage that indicates they were probably used as book coverings or otherwise recycled as binders' waste.
AcquisitionSome have blue or purple numbers which suggests they may have been bought at auction at the same time as some of the MS fragments. They would benefit from research by a medieval/early modern language specialist.
