Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Mm.04.46-MS Mm.04.56

Scope and Contents

By Henry Hubbard, B.D., Fellow of Emman. Coll., and Registrary of the University from 1758 to 1778. They contain the various readings from the ancient Proctors' Books, and appear to have been collated by the Rev. Adam Wall, who prepared the copy for the edition printed by the University in 1785, as his figures in pencil occur on many of the pages. (See Mm.05. 53 and Mm.05.54.) They differ in some degree from that Collection, as will be seen from the following enumeration of the contents of the volumes.
Vol. I. 'Statuta Antiqua.'
Vol. II. Statuta Antiqua, continued.—F. 118. 'Statuta quædam in Ordinem redacta,' of proceedings in the three Faculties: this classification is not in the printed copy.—F. 156. 'The Composition betwixt the University and the King's College, 8 Feb. 1456–7. Copied from the Black Parchment Book.' This occupies a later position in the printed copy, at p. 518.
Vol. III. Statuta Antiqua in ordinem non redacta.
Vol. IV. Statuta Hen. VIII. & Edw. VI.
Vol. V. Statuta 1 Eliz. & Decreta Cecilii.—F. 140. 'Orders of Apparel, &c, anno 1563:'.
Vol. VI. Statuta 12 Eliz.—F. 180. 'Statuta quædam in ordinem non redacta,' of proceedings in the three Faculties.
Vol. VII. 'Interpretationes.' F. 114. 'Solutiones ab illis qui gradus ambiunt.'—F. 148.' Juramenta.'—F. 202. 'Formulæ.'
Vol. VIII. 'Literæ Regiæ.'
Vol. IX. X. 'Senatus Consulta.'
