Physical condition
Note 2. This volume consists of sections of varying dates, bound together in parchment (probably in the fifteenth century) and the whole bound again (probably in the nineteenth century). The earlier binding is marked in an eighteenth or nineteenth century hands with the words Liber Ruber. It is apparent that some confusion as to the name of this manuscript exists. Another manuscript, called the Liber Ruber has disappeared, but a transcript of it was made by Dr. Thomas, an eighteenth century antiquarian. The writer of this title took this volume to be the lost Liber Ruber, but a comparison of its foliation with the references to the Liber Albus in Dr. Thomas's book "Survey of the Cathedral Church of Worcester and an account of its Bishops" (1736) proves that it is not.
Custodial history

Note 1. This volume was out of custody from January 1953 until December 1962. In January 1953 it was taken by the late Rev. J.T. Nankivell to the Bodleian Library, Oxford for the use of Canon E.W. Kemp of Exeter College. It was collected from there by Rev. Dr. P.C. Moore, Mr. Nankivell's successor as Hurd Librarian at Hartlebury Castle, in July 1955, from whom it has been recovered in 1962 from the Vicarage, Pershore.
