Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorials of Merton College: With Biographical Notices of the Wardens and Fellows The present volume consists of two Parts; the first containing a historical sketch of Merton College from its foundation to the middle of the eighteenth century; the second containing short biographical notices of the Wardens and Fellows elected during the reigns preceding that of Queen Anne. The materials for a history of Merton College are tolerably copious, but have yet to be digested into a form accessible to ordinary students. The earliest are title-deeds of College property, and Bursars´ rolls detailing current income and expenditure. Both these classes of evidences were ransacked by Anthony Wood, whose researches, though not exhaustive, were so minute as probably to deter later antiquaries from independent enquiry. The ´Liber Ruber,´ compiled in the reign of Edward I, purports to contain abstracts of all the more important title-deeds then in the possession of the College. Transcripts of these, as well as of other documents affecting the College property, are to be found in Ms. volumes left by Kilner, who filled the office of Bursar in the latter part of the last century, as well as in the Appendix to his printed but unpublished ´School of Pythagoras.´ Next in order are the various Catalogues of Fellows, hereafter described, the earliest of which dates from the reign of Henry V, and to which are appended notes, in a later hand, of more or less biographical value.
