The following inscription in a large set hand is on f. 147 :
Ihesus est amor meus.
ho that lust for to loke
or for to rede on this boke,
Be he of cyte toun or thrope
Pray he for my lady scrope.
And thinke je neuir to done amys
But Jenke on hym that gaf jow this.
For ihesu loue haue hym in mynde
that this sette on jowre boke be hynde.
To what foundation the book belonged I cannot say with
certainty. The indications are that it was given by Lady Scrope
to a monastery probably in Yorkshire where St Honoratus of
Lerins was held in veneration, and that it belonged once to a man
called Edward (see on ff. 137, 146).
