Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Archives in the Muniment Rooms of All Souls´ College The documents comprised in the following Catalogue consist of the title deeds and leases of the estates belonging to All Souls´ College, with letters and legal papers referring to them; charters of kings, and injunctions of archbishops, with papers and correspondence concerning the internal affairs of the College; and lastly, the accounts of the annual receipts and expenditure. The original treasury was the tower over the gateway, in which ´plate and other goodes´ were kept in ´twoe chests´ during the wardenship of Hovenden, and were annually examined by the warden and officers. The yearly surplus, after the payment of the College expenses, was laid up in the same place, and it appears from memoranda of evidence sent up to London for legal purposes, that the archives were also kept in the tower. They were removed in the last century to rooms which were probably built expressly to receive them, and are there stowed away in presses all made after the room was built, with the exception of a handsome oaken cabinet in the upper room, on one of the doors of which is written by the hand of Warden Hovenden, ´Confectum 1582, R. Hovenden, custode.´ The rolls and books of accounts, which begin certainly in 1443, (if not earlier, as there are several rolls without dates,) are deposited in another room by themselves. During Hovenden´s wardenship, the deeds in the archives were numbered, and catalogues made of them on paper rolls.
