There is no indication of the volume’s whereabouts before its receipt by Christ Church: ‘from Abp Wake’s Collection’ (in pencil on the bookplate). The manuscript appears in Wake’s autograph schedule (MS 352/8, fol. 2) under octavo and smaller volumes: ‘An antient Rituall in 12o: Illuminated’. As with MSS 93 and 94, the possibility cannot be excluded that Wake came by this manuscript while he was in France, in 1682-85.
