Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Calendar of the Manuscripts of the Most Hon. The Marquis of Salisbury, Vol. 13: Preserved at Hatfield House, Hertfordshire The papers contained in the present Volume, Part XIII of the Cecil Calendar, together with another volume to come next - materials for which are already prepared, - form the final Addenda to that Calendar as far as to the end of the reign of Elizabeth. The previous volumes, which contain the bulk of the Cecil Papers, are arranged approximately chronologically; but in so vast a collection it was inevitable that some papers should at first be assigned to wrong dates; while the great number of undated papers could not be properly dealt with until the Calendar had progressed so far that the published papers might afford some clues enabling the undated documents to be assigned to their proper dates. For these and other reasons the number of papers in this and the forthcoming Addenda volumes is somewhat large; but it is believed that most of them have now been satisfactorily dated and the number of undated papers reduced to a minimum. It will be seen that the documents comprised in this volume cover a long period of time, from the 12th to the end of the 16th century, though the great bulk of them relate to the reign of Elizabeth. This being so it is not to be expected that we should find many papers on any single important transaction adding much information to what we already know about it; and it is not till we get well into Elizabeth´s reign that we find our previous knowledge of particular events much increased. It will be useful to point out the general character of the earlier documents, and then draw attention to the most important papers in the whole volume. The first section of the present Volume comprises Treatises, Chronicles, and Histories, more or less fragmentary, belonging to the 13th and three following centuries, including a version of the Psalms (p. 3), a 15th century Latin Bible (p. 7), and a copy of Gower´s Vox Clamantis (p.7). The subjects of the treatises are mostly sacred if not scriptural, or historical. There are also copies of the Treaties of Troyes (p. 4) and of Cambray (p. 11), and several other documents of a political nature. One official document of the reign of Henry V must be noted; it is a pay roll of the English garrison in some foreign town, which from internal evidence clearly belongs to the year 1417, and contains information of much interest to students of military matters in early times.
