Scope and Contents: This volume (11 pages) contains excerpts from the 15th-century English romance The Sowdon of Babylon, copied by George Steevens (1736-1800), an English scholar and literary editor. The final excerpt, written on a separate piece of paper and pasted in, appears to be in a different hand.
Walter Wilson Greg purchased the excerpts, already bound into a single volume, from James Tregaskis in 1897. Greg added a brief preface with information on the manuscripts' provenance, noting former ownership by Richard Heber and Sir Thomas Phillipps.
