Description:
CCCC MS 24 contains the text of De causa Dei contra Pelagium of Thomas Bradwardine (c. 1300-49). The provenance of this volume is very well attested. An inscription states that the book was given to the Benedictine cathedral priory of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Worcester by John de Prestone of Somerset, a monk of the same institution, in 1348. The same notice also records threats of divine punishment for anyone who erased the inscription or caused the book to be alienated from the church ('quem titulum quicumque fraudulenter deleuerit librumque ab ecclesia eadem alienauerit Deleat eum deus de libro uite et anathemate feriatur'). A second note states that the volume was given to Parker by 'D. A.' in December 1567.
