:An early 13th-century copy of the Bible, preceded by a commentary on Genesis by Alexander Neckham called ''Solatium fidelis animae''.<br />
:There is an early provenance inscription of [[Thomas de Banchester]], presumably a monk of [[St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury]] to which the book belonged in the period before the Reformation. The book subsequently passed into the possession of Sir [[John Wilde]] (d. 1635), the Registrar to the Dean and Chapter, who is recorded in the [[Benefactors' Book]] as giving it to the Chapter Library. The gift can be dated to 1630–1634 as it is listed in first place in the manuscripts section of the [[1634 inventory]] but is not found in the [[1630 manuscripts catalogue]].<br />
