Provenance		The text dedicated to the University of Paris (f. 4).

The Augustinian priory of St Bartholomew's at Smithfield: inscribed, 'Liber domus sancti barthomomei in smyth fylde', 15th century (f. 1v). The Old Royal Library (the English Royal Library): Henrician title 'Decretales' and Westminster inventory number 'no. 1059' (f. 1), acquired by the Upper Library at Westminster after the inventory of 1542; in the catalogue of 1666, Royal Appendix 71, f. 9v; and in the 1698 catalogue of the library of St James's Palace (see [Edward Bernard], Catalogi librorum manuscriptorum Angliae et Hiberniae (Oxford: Sheldonian, '1697', but 1698?), no. 8377, 8378, 8380, or 8388). Presented to the British Museum by George II in 1757 as part of the Old Royal Library.
Notes		Full digital coverage available for this manuscript: see Digitised Manuscripts at http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts. Part I: the text and gloss written in Southern France, perhaps in Toulouse: lemmata underlined in yellow, with the decoration left unfinished. Catchwords and bifolium signatures; numerous corrections. Part II: the Calendarium illuminated and added on a separate quire at the beginning of the manuscript (ff. 1v-3v); marginal decoration and scenes in the lower margins added by a different artist, probably on the request of John Batayle, a canon of St Bartholomew's at Smithfield (his arms: see provenance) (see Bovey 2000 and 2002).
