Probably acquired by Phillipps at the sale of Ord’s manuscripts in January 1830, where Phillipps was a major buyer. Following Phillipps’ death in 1872 there was a series of sales at Sotheby’s, when the manuscript passed into the hands of Worcester antiquary Joseph Bowstead Wilson (1841-1911), rector of Knightwick, Worcs. Thence by descent.
