Summary
CCCC MS 236 contains Martial's epigrams, as well as some added medieval epigrams by Hubert Walter (d. 1205) and others. It was written in the thirteenth century. It is one of the Corpus manuscripts which contains the signature of Daniel Rogers (c. 1539-91), an Elizabethan diplomat and the son of one of Foxe's martyrs. It is not known how some of Rogers' books came into the possession of Corpus Christi. Like several of Rogers' books it contains a price mark.
