The book is currently shelved with the collection left by Canon Arthur James Mason (1851–1928). It was presumably given to him by Dean Henry Wace (1836–1924) or purchased at the sale of Wace's books. It is signed by or for its author, William Palmer of Magdalen College, Oxford (1811–1879), and may have been given by him to a certain Bishop Matthew.
The presence of the Howley-Harrison book plate is presumably because the Mason Collection was at one time shelved in the Howley-Harrison Library.
