Context (Acquisition Details)
Donated by Rev. Daniels to Clare College in 1822, then apparently it was given to the Cambridge Antiquarian Society. This likely came to MAA as part of the original 1883 Cambridge Antiquarian Society deposit, or possibly the next year in 1884 (as the catalogue card suggests).
