Inscription on title page: Ste: Hunt.
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.
