History
Provenance
"The leaves used in this [leaf] book came from a copy of the Canbertuby Tales in the library of Lord Ashburnham, which the Caxton Club purchased for distribution in this leaf book. The Ashburnham copy was incomplete, containing only 148 leaves, so only 148 of the total edition of 255 copies included an original leaf." (de Hamel, Christopher, and Silver, Joel. Disbound and Dispersed: The Leaf Book Considered. Chicago: The Caxton Club, 2005, pp. 68-9.)
