The textblock is sewn on 5 split thongs, the cover was made for (or by) a Lloyd family member in the 18th century, as suggested by the embroidered arms (lozenge sable, three horse heads erased argent). The back cover has an embroidered crest (horse head erased on a wreath, argent and gules). A maroon silk bookmarker is attached to the cover's simulated endbands. 561 The first owners of the manuscript were Sir Miles Stapleton (1408-1466), of Ingham, Norfolk, and his first wife, Katherine de la Pole (1416-1488), the patrons for whom the author John Metham composed Amoryus and Cleopes. Pen trials dating from the 16th century include the names Wentworth, James Euerarde (fol. i recto), Ezekiel Ampleforde (fol. 86v), Henry Anslone (or Anslowe), Ashenden, Henry Northumberlande, and Johannes Indogines(?), John hylle (fol. 87v); and a late 15th- or early 16th-century pen trial on fol. 73v, “Most good and most excelent good lord therlle [i.e., the earl] of Southampton.” According to current research by Robert Williams, the manuscript probably came into the possession of the Lloyd family of Worcestershire in approximately 1730-1750, when the embroidered cover was added with the Lloyd arms (see Binding). The British collector Lieutenant Colonel Robert Hamilton Lloyd Anstruther (1841-1914), of Hintlesham Hall, Ipswich, Norfolk, sold the manuscript to the London antiquarian bookseller Bernard Quaritch. Robert Garrett (1875-1961), of Baltimore, Maryland, Class of 1897, purchased the manuscript from Quaritch on 24 September 1903 and donated it to Princeton University Library in 1942. 541 Gift; |cof Robert Garrett, Princeton Class of 1897, |d1942. 524 Garrett MS. 141, Manuscripts Division, Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, Princeton University Library. 510 4 Medieval & Renaissance manuscripts in the Princeton University Library, |cpages 324-328 510 4 Ricci, S. de.
