Abstract

Eton MS 123 is one of two parent manuscripts of the collection of manuscripts dating from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Henry Luard’s assumption that it was written at Merton Priory has been refuted, and it seems likely to have originated from Westminster Abbey; when and how it came to Merton adds to our understanding of inter-monastic relations in the London area during the later thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries.
