History
Copied by John Shirley (?1366-1456) , author, translator and scribe. Cambridge, Trinity College, MS R.3.20 was originally joined with London, Sion College Library, MS Arc.L.40.2/E.44 , ff. 1-93, containing a copy of the Middle English The Pilgrimage of the Lyfe of the Manhode and London, British Library, Harley MS 78 , ff. 80r-83v, containing Geoffrey Chaucer's 'Complaint unto Pity' and 'Complaint to His Lady'. These parts were also copied by John Shirley. For a reconstruction of the three manuscripts, see Connolly (1998), Table 2.
Provenance and Acquisition
Owned by John Shirley (?1366-1456) , as is indicated by the presence of his bookplate poem. According to Connolly (1998), p. 95, Shirley used the manuscript as a source for compiling another anthology, now Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Ashmole 59 .
An unknown London workshop active during the reign of King Edward IV used the manuscript as an exemplar for creating two anthologies of poems, now London, British Library, Additional MS 34360 and London, British Library, Harley MS 2251 . Both of these manuscripts contain the work of the so-called 'Hammond scribe' (see Connolly (1998), p. 95).
Thomas Rychepe (fl. ?15th century) : his name inscribed by a hand, possibly from the 15th century, on p. 29: ‘Thomas rychepe’.
John Richardson (fl. 16th century) : owned or access the manuscript: his name inscribed by a 16th-century hand on p. 93: ‘per me Jhon Richard[...]’.
Barnwell (fl. 16th century) : an unknown member of the Barnwell family owned or access the manuscript: inscription on p. 169 by a 16th-century hand referred to family members (‘Item for [?] Allyn Barnwell’) and on p. 369 (‘John Barnwell was my ffather vnto thys’).
John ?Tacker (fl. 16th century) : ownership inscription by a 16th-century hand on p. 367: ‘iste liber pertenit ad me Johannem Tacker(?) ’ (now effaced).
John Stow (1524/5–1605) , historian: owned the manuscript in 1558, when he used it as a partial exemplar for London, British Library, Additional MS 29729 , and annotated by him on pp. 25, 32, 33, 35, 36 [twice], 154, 158, 197, 361, and 365; Stow also added a stanza to the Life of St Margaret on p. 180 (see Connolly (1998), pp. 95-95, 101 n. 84).
George Wilmer (1583/84-1626) of West Ham, Essex, Fellow of Trinity College and collector of customs revenues under James I. His armorial bookplate gold-stamped on the outsides of the front and rear covers (see Binding).
Donated to Trinity College by Wilmer : the College's armorial bookplate pasted on the inside of the front cover together with inscriptions of its previous classmark ‘R.9.14’ [ink, crossed out] and current classmark: ‘R.3.20’ [pencil]; the classmarks ‘R.3.19’ [ink, crossed out] and ‘R.3.20’ [pencil] on p. [iii]; and its bookstamp in the lower margin of p. 1 and the upper margin of p. 372.
