Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from King´s College The materials for a history of King´s College consist, in the first place, of the MS. records preserved in the College. Of these, the Account Books go back to the earliest times, and are nearly complete. The Protocollum Books cover the period since 1500 and contain a record of the admission of all Scholars and Fellows, cases of discipline, diversions of the Fellows to exceptional courses of study, and decisions of the Visitor. The Congregation Books, which contain the votes passed by the Governing Body and the annual elections of officers, date from 1722. There is also, in the College Muniment Room, a collection of letters, of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, written by Visitors, Provosts, and Fellows, which throw light on some episodes of College history. We possess also isolated accounts of various important occurrences in the College; but these are unofficial, and the actual date of their composition is sometimes uncertain. Moreover, there are two catalogues of Provosts, Fellows, and Scholars. The one preserved in the College was drawn up by Antony Allen, admitted a Scholar of King´s in 1704. He made use of two earlier lists - one the work of Thomas Hatcher, Fellow, who died in 1584, and had carried his catalogue down to 1555; the other, a continuation to 1620, by John Scott, Coroner of the College.
