Description
Names written in manuscripts of CT indicate associations between these manuscripts and a number of Austin friars who were scribes; they also indicate that exemplars of some manuscripts were at Clare Priory. Friars may have copied the manuscripts piecemeal when traveling, or the manuscripts may have circulated among fraternal locations.
