• Résumé : CCCC MS 37 is an interesting portmanteau manuscript of texts copied by various hands in the first half of the fourteenth century. The overwhelming sense of the these texts is of a collection put together by or for a secular figure with connections to London and Westminster. They include a gazetteer of England, astrological and medical tracts, statutes and calendars of the term days of the Exchequer and illustrated guides to the movement of the moon and tides. The London connection is further evinced by the presence in the manuscript of unique accounts of some of the cases that came before the eyre of 1321 that examined the liberties of the City. It may have been the property of the Londoner John Reynham and passed from him, via a relative, to the Cistercian abbey at Boxley, Kent.
