MS 98 (dating from the early 13th century) is a manuscript linked to the foundation of New College itself.  Although it predates the college by some one and a half centuries, it arrived at the college library with New College’s founder in the late 14th century.  Donated by William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester and founder of New College, MS 98 came from a monastic context in Cambridgeshire to reside in the college’s library until the present day.
