Probably given to the Library by Canon Edward Moore, son of Charlotte Puckle.

Owned in succession by the Revd Richard Smith (1711-1772), the Revd Philip Parsons (1729-1812) of Wye, who gave the book in 1787 to the Revd James Mills, who gave it in turn to Charlotte Puckle in 1822. Charlotte Puckle was the mother of the Revd Canon Edward Moore (1835-1916), principal of St Edmund Hall, Oxford, and Canon of Canterbury from 1903, an Italianist who specialised in Dante. The book is likely to have come into the Chapter Library from Canon Moore.
