Notes
Composite MS, bound with 1 later (Latin) volume from 1428. "The presence (f. 141v) of an inventory of ecclesiastical furnishings and vestments, followed by a list of masses celebrated at the shrine of Becket, both dated 1380, suggests that the third part of this composite manuscript was in possession of the guardians of the shrine at that time."
