Excerpt from The Earliest English Translation of the First Three Books of the De Imitatione Christi: Now First Printed From a Ms. In the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, With Various Readings From a Ms. In the University Library, Cambridge It thus appears that in 1655 the ms. Was in the possession of the Turney family. The next piece of evidence as to the history of the ms. Is supplied by the entry abovementioned which is made on p. Implying that it was left with a London bookseller for Mr. Henry Dodwell. This was without doubt the eminent scholar Henry Dodwell, who was elected a Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, in 1662, resigned his Fellowship in 1666, was elected Camden Professor of History at Oxford in 1688, but, being a N ou-juror, was obliged to vacate that office in 1691, and died in 1717.
