A modern pencil inscription in the bottom left margin of the verso reads "35-20" and another in the bottom right margin reads "GX-27." Leaf 4 of the IWU Lamson collection. This set of nine leaves was gifted to Illinois Wesleyan University by Alfred (Class of 1939) and Helen Lamson. The Lamson donation was orchestrated by IWU's President, Minor Myers, Jr., who negotiated with Harry L. Stern, antiquarian book seller, regarding the purchase of the leaves (circa 1990) which were then donated to the University. A similar set of leaves is held by Loyola Marymount University and known as the Bruce Ferrini Liturgical Manuscript Leaf Collection. Ferrini likely sold these leaves as well.1

The Lamson donation was orchestrated by IWU's President, Minor Myers, Jr., who negotiated with Harry L. Stern, antiquarian book seller, regarding the purchase of the leaves (circa 1990) which were then donated to the University.

An unidentified heraldic crest has been added to fol. 113v, with quarters 1 and 4 azure, three crowns in bend, bendwise (perhaps a reference to the arms of the legendary Brutus of Troy) and quarters 2 and 3 or a cross gules with four fleur-de-lis gules (perhaps a reference to the Irish branch of the Haydon, or Heydon, family). This crest was added in the fifteenth century, presumably by its owner at that time. Donated to University Archives and Special Collections in 1974 by Zelia C. Friel in memory of John Whiting Friel. Bookplate for John Whiting Friel (1891-1970) and Helen Otillie Friel (1891-1959) attached to the inside cover.1
Bookplate for Robert R. Dearden, Jr. (d. 1938) attached to the inside cover. Signature of Jacobus Urbanus (Jacob Urban) on the back of the second flyleaf. The front of the second flyleaf once included another name that has been crossed out with ink, making that name unreadable. Note from Robert Dearden, Jr. states “The manuscript was purchased by me from a dealer in Germany shortly after the World War and was formerly in one of the libraries of that county.” Charles Williams purchased the bible from Robert Dearden, Jr. Donated to Xavier University by Mrs. Lawrence H. Kyte (Mary Elizabeth Williams Kyte) in 1964.1
In SBT_001, there is a bookplate of Charles W. G. Howard found on the inner front cover. That bookplate reads that the volume was "The Gift of the Right Honorable Sir David Dundas, Knight of Ochtertyre" in 1877. No bookplate is found in this volume, but it is probable that these two codices traveled together during this exchange.1
Inked and embossed stamps of St. Ignatius College (Chicago, IL). This could be the "Biblia latina manuscripta (No title page)" listed in the 1875 catalogue of books of St. Ignatius College, yet the book is not among those reported to Seymour De Ricci (Census, 1:551).1

On fol. 1r is written "Maiores Ursinensis Bibliothica," suggesting that this volume was once a part of the collection of the Benedictine Abbey of Irsee (also known as Ursin Abbey) in Bavaria, Germany.

This codex was donated to Ohio Wesleyan University by Frank W. Gunsaulus in 1916.1
