On f. 1v in large black letters the name William Porter. This name is also in Trinity MS. B. 16. 3. William Porter occurs in Grace Book C as B.A. 1537-8, M.A. 1540-1 (H. P. S.) On ff. iir-ivv in a hand of cent. xv late: Casus in quibus iudex ecclesiasticus potest cognoscere regea prohibicione non obstante concessi per regis magnam cartam.

A Popley occurs as Bachelor of Canon Law in 1524-5, Grace Book B, part II, p. 123. In Grace Book A, p. 42 under 1463-4, is 'receptum de popy quia non incepit in iure canonico xls.' But both dates seem unsuitable.
Table of contents:
  • Liber de informatione principum
  • De XII abusiuis saeculi (De duodecim abusionum gradibus, excerpt)
Description:
CCCC MS 412 contains not Giles of Rome OESA's De regimine principum but an anonymous work in the same genre of guidance on royal governance, the Liber de informatione principum, written between 1297 and 1314, perhaps for the sons of Philip the Fair. It seems at least plausible. however, that Parker was just as interested in the late fifteenth-century copy of the Articuli cleri (1316) that is attached to the beginning of the volume and which deals with the question of royal and ecclesiastical jurisdiction. This is followed by a series of notes bearing the name Edmund Poplay, who seems to have been confirmed as a bachelor of canon law at Cambridge University in 1489, though no contemporary reference to him is known in the university Grace Books. Apart from this, there is no information as to the manuscript's provenance.
