- This book was a gift from William Elstob (1673–1715) to his uncle Charles Elstob, canon of Stall VIII from 1685 to 1721. The date of these letters must be between 1703 and 1714.
- The book later came into the possession of Stephen Hunt and presumably passed to the Cathedral as part of his bequest of 1714.
