History

Note on existence:This manuscript no longer exists in the Eton Pote collection. Henry Bradshaw did not report it missing in 1878 but it was not catalogued by Margoliouth in 1904. In his transcription of the Eton Pote roll lists (pre-1886) Edward B. Cowell listed a manuscript 465 written with duplicate number 415 (see Cambridge University Library Ms. Add. 4226, Pote Collection of Eton; pre-1886)

Origin: Undated.

Provenance and Acquisition

The "Pote Collection" arrived in England from India in 1790 and was divided between the Colleges of Eton and King's, Cambridge, with the second half alphabetically going to Eton. Both halves of the collection are now housed in Cambridge University Library on permanent loan. Most if not all of the manuscripts had previously been owned by Colonel Antoine-Louis Henri Polier (1741–1795).

Gift of Edward Ephraim Pote (d.1832) in 1788.
