NOTE
1 Sir Sydney Cockerell (1867-1962), director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, in 1937 retired to Kew. Although parts of his collection were sold off at various dates after he became bedridden following a fall in 1951, it appears that some years before his death on 1 May 1962 the psalter passed to Mr B.S. Cron, at the same location. The Golden Psalter is listed as no. 57 in Christopher de Hamel, Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts from the Library of Sir Sydney Cockerell (1867-1962).
