A single date is recorded in the manuscript (1601). An individual named Robert Browne has been identified as the author, although this is a common name and the precise individual has not been identified.
The manuscript contains some large pages folded down into four folios, 203 x 156 mm. It also contains some bifolios secured with a metal pin. Many of the manuscripts were affected by damp in the past and have been since conserved, but parts of the text are missing on many of them.
Left to the library in Thomas Plume's will of 1704.

Bundle H comprises 68 separate numbered documents by Robert Browne and one by another author, stored together in a conservation box. There is no number 50, but instead 49 and 49a.
