Provenance: donated to Christ Church in 1696 by Thomas Knipe (1638/9-1711), together with the Roman missal now at H.2.2.7. The inside upper covers of both books have the following annotation: 'Donum Reverendi Viri Thomae Knipe / S.I.D. Scholae Regiae Westmonasteriensis / Archididascali & huius Aedis olim / Alumni. A.D. 1696'. Knipe, a graduate of Christ Church, had been tutor to Henry Aldrich at Westminster School, and was subsequently headmaster there; for a full biography, see The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Bearing in mind Knipe's connections with Aldrich, and Aldrich's interest in music, Knipe's choice of books for donation may well have been made with Aldrich in mind.
