Peter Gunning (1614 – 6 July 1684) Canon of Canterbury, Bishop of Chichester and later of Ely, gave £100 on his death to purchase books for the Chapter Library.
Benefactors' Book f. 114v
The following list is written on a small slip of paper attached to a leaf of the Benefactors' Book.

This appears to be a reconstruction of the list of the books purchased under the bequest, written at some point after the Library had been re-arranged, presumably in the early 18th century.
The date of publication and probable shelf mark of books still surving in the Chapter Library are given in columns 2 and 3.
On a small sheet of paper attached to f. 114v:
