bound with 3 other booklets, including 15th c material at the end (ff. 320-332v); f. 200 is a "14th century replacement page"; "The Coldingham Priory, about 10 miles north of Berwick-on-Tweed, in Scotland, perhaps made at Durham: the abbey was a cell of Durham Cathedral Priory. Owned by a monk of Durham in the 16th century: inscribed 'Liber dominus Richardi Crosby monarchi Dun[ls]i' (f. 9). An inscription on an end flyleaf states that it was given to him by Hugh Whitehede, last prior of Durham, in 1521 (f. 333)."
