just a simple aid to understanding the text: they are, on the other hand,&nbsp;centrally important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The illuminations are unique in that they <strong>offer insight into manuscript

history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What they do know is that it was <strong>owned by&nbsp;Francis Douce&nbsp;before it was later acquired by the&nbsp;Bodleian Library in Oxford<\/strong>, to whom Douce left it
