Provenance:
Fol. 1r in faded red ink, "Skeneus medicus," possibly Gilbert Skeyne, professor of medicine at King's College, Aberdeen, physician to James VI of Scotland, and author of the first medical text in the Scots vernacular, Ane breve descriptioun of the pest, published in 1558. Armorial bookplate of Mostyn of Mostyn (identified by Schullian as the heraldic shield of Sir Pyers Mostyn of Talacre, Flintshire, Scotland, but an identical bookplate in Pierpont Morgan Library MS. M.777 is identified in English romanesque manuscripts, 1066-1190, 1975, as that of Sir Thomas Mostyn, bt., of Mostyn, not the Talacre branch of the family). Written at bottom of bookplate, "Th. Mostyn 1744. No.85". Listed in Sotheby sale catalogue of July 13, 1920, lot 101, under title: Regimen sanitatis, "Property of Lord Mostyn, Mostyn Hall, Mostyn, Cheshire"; purchased by Maggs. A small label pasted on flyleaf, "10o," probably a shelfmark.
