Owning Institution
  • Berea College Special Collections and Archives. Berea College. Berea, KY
Provenance
  • Formerly in the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps (an inscription on the first leaf reads "Phillipps ms. 699"). An inscription ("Fr. President Frost") on recto of the front flyleaf indicates that this volume was once owned by William Goodell Frost, the President of Berea College between 1890-1920. A note on the verso of the flyleaf additionally reads, "14th century manuscript from a monastery near Cologne, Germany. Purchased from Bull and Auvache, London, 1910." It seems likely that William Frost purchased this volume in 1910 and later donated it to Berea before or upon his death in 1938.
