Owner’s notes	(>in) (s. 15) "Ihon Wyght (?) Marvyne (?) Mownford / Ihon Peyne Lewis Eward Byddyl / Raffe <...?> Barton". A John payne and a Ralph Barton were respectively chaplain and organist of Magdalen College, Oxford in 1486-7 and 1491-2 (A.B. Emden, A Bibliographical Register of the University of Oxford to A.D. 1500 (1957-9) 1441 122). Notes and scribbles in several hands (s. 16): (71v) "Rechard (?) Seward 1533", with merchant's mark incorporating the letters "R.S."; (3) "Rechard Chewarrd (?)"; (56v) "Jhesus. Robort Cott of Hollor Hamptoun bought of me Rafe Grafton of Homptoun Hollar the x de of february <...> iij bots of sece at iij li. and a marke a bot at XI li. starlyng <...>"; (61v) Scribbles mentioning "Onkoll (?) Rafe Grafton " and including a merchant's mark; (57v, 158) "Rafe grafton"; (61) "anno 1541 (?). In the name of god I make my testement. I geve my soli to almyghty god and to berret in the chorche <...?> of (?) Hollarhptoun i gefe (?) <...> my son (?) Ihon al my lardes (?) that <...?> me (?) son John Graf <no more written>"; (above, in adifferent hand) "Thus be Rechard Graftons John"; (167v) "per me Roger Bradshall of Whychurche as onyst a man as onyst a man as ony ony. Ego som bonos puar sy (?) wos (?). Ic est lyberom Sir Thomas Bradshall"; (27v) "Rychard Appo". Ralph Grafton is possibly to be identified as Ralph Grafton of Chesire, gent., father of the Richard Grafton who was living in the Canaries in 1557 and was given a Letter Testimonial by Norroy King of Arms, to be distinguished from the family of Richard Grafton the printer (see Kingdom, Incidents in the lives of Thomas Poyntz and Richard Grafton 2 (1895) 12-4)Grafton, in S. Cheshire, from which a branch of the family originally came, is only a few miles from Hampton Hall, possibly Ralph Grafton's Hampton Hollar. Both are only a few miles north of Whitchurch in Shropshire, which may therefore be the Whitchurch of Roger Bradshaw. The latter, and Sir Thomas Bradshaw, may have been members of the Bradshaw family of Cheshire, and Sir Thomas was perhaps the parish pries of Godshill in the Isle of Wight c. 1529-36, who was a protégé of Dorothy, Countess of Derby, and wanted the living of Stockport (Letters and Papers Foreign and Domestic ... Henry VIII iv 3 # 5293, xi # 51). In addition to these 16th-cent. owners, William Crabtree wrote his name on (1) "Sum Willelmi Crabtrie Liber 1632"; (1v) "Willelmus Crabtrie verus est Possessor huius libri. Anno Domini 1632", and on (11v) (1632), (18) (127v-8) (both in English), (168) (1632). This is presumably the astronomer, of Manchester (1610-1644 ?) (see Dictionary of National Biography 4 1356-7).

Height × width	c. 200 x 135
No. of leaves	202
Gatherings	Collation of 1-21 (all parchment) impossible to establish with certainty because many leaves are lost and others are unattached. It may have been: 1^14(-1,-13-14, bifolium with 1 & 11 <1v written by the same scribe) added: there are signatures 2-6 on ff. 2-6, but to much of the text is missing to have been contained on the cut off bottom half of 1v) 2^8(the first leaf, 12, has signature in red, `a iij', -2 between it and 13, with which it forms a bifolium) 3^4 (14 & 15 have signatures in red, bj, bij) 4^10(-8-10: # 1-3 <16-18>, are all unattached; 19-21, 196bis-20 are bifolia); a work ends imperfectly on 21v). The rest of the quires are mixed parchment and paper: 5^20 (10 cut out ?, 7 & 13 are singletons, +1 after 14) 6^20 7^25(?) (6, 15, 18, 24 are singletons, +1 after 12, -1 after 23 may also have been a singleton), quire missing, 8^28(14 & 17 singletons) 9^26 10^16(15, 16 canc.) 11^18(17 canc.) 12^18 13(187-94, 8 unattached leaves, probably -1 after 187) 14^4.
Watermarks	(quires 5-6, 8-11) An anchor with ball and cross; cf. C.M. Briquet, Les Filigrans. Dictionnaire historique des marques du papier ... 1282 jusqu'à 1600 (1907) # 393. (quires 7 & 12) Troyes shield with Maltese cross ; cf. C.M. Briquet, Les Filigrans. Dictionnaire historique des marques du papier ... 1282 jusqu'à 1600 (1907) # 1041.
Cover	Contemporary parchment cover, to which each quire was attached with two or three separate strips of parchment.
Condition	A leaf appears to be missing after 187.

Width of columns	Ruling (mostly in crayon, partly in ink) and text space vary from quire to quire.

	Additional texts	(29v-32v) Sixteen sets of verses, each consisting of a heading (the name of a king) and nine lines numbered 2-10.

	Additional copies	The text is not the version of the work found in P (59), A (31) D (40). The introduction (22-) is in A and D but the questions in the form of a table (23v-23av) are different, and so are the spheres with their tables and the verses. A version of (22-22v) similar to ours is in GLonB Add. 15236 (s. 13-14) 95v, but the rest of the work is different.
Work 16	Title (ms.)	Spheres of life and death

	Math. drawings	(33) After the text, upside down, is a circular diagram headed "Spera Pictagore". It is formed of three concentric circles, the outer containing numbers, the next the letters of the alphabet, the inner the days of the week with numbers, framing a central section divided in half, the upper half "Vita", the lower half "Mors", with three columns of numbers in each half. (33v) "Iudicale vite et mortis": a similar circular diagram, but with only two outer circles of corresponding letters and numbers, close to, but not identical with, the arrangement on 32v-3. In the central section the same sets of numbers as in 32v-3 are arranged in six small circles which foretell the length of an illness and whether the patient will live or die, e.g. the first has: "Vita. Infirmitas longa et vivet." Around the diagrams is written a text beg.: "Experimentum vite et mortis de omnibus infirmatibus supervenientibus homini et muliere ut in circulo presenti oculariter demonstratur. In prima enim linea vel circulo ponuntur numeri cuilibet littere alphabeti", ends: "in inferiori parte circuli scriptam finaliter iudicabis".
