Description
Challenges the traditional provenance of CT manuscript Oxford, Trinity College, MS 49, detaching it from Saffron Walden, and asserting that it was not donated to Trinity College by Sir Thomas Pope, founder of the college, but given by Thomas Unton, as is recorded in Trinity's Library Benefactors' Book. Summarizes Unton's life and book ownership and explores broader implications of this ownership.
