Notes: "the first few leaves of the manuscript are taken up with a range of historical notes, extracts and genealogical tables, some relating to the archdiocese of York. The manuscript was almost certainly in the hands of the Tudor poet and antiquary John Leland (1506-1552), who thought it was in poor condition - 'Codex erat aliquot locis mancus'. The historian John Bale (1495-1563) saw the manuscript in Leland's collection, but Parker must have acquired it some time before 1572 (possibly from the Cheapside resident William Carye), since the text was used as the basis for the archbishop's Antiquitates published in that year. The manuscript was copied many time in the course of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the details it supplied about church government in Angevin England being keenly studied by church historians."
