Waldensian documents, Late fourteenth to early sixteenth century
Scope and Contents
These are the Waldensian MSS. given to the University by Samuel Morland with Dd.03.25-38, marked by him A-F, and long supposed to be lost. They were for a time erroneously described as Spanish, and were considered of no interest till their identification by H. Bradshaw, M.A., Fellow of King's, in 1862. See his full description of them in the Communications to the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, vol. 2, pp. 203-218, reprinted in Dr Todd's Books of the Vaudois (1865), pp. 210-223.
