Letters almost entirely written to Anthony Wood, Written in 1657-1695
Letters almost entirely written to Anthony Wood, 1657-95, chiefly on the biography of Oxford writers, some with draughts of the replies. In the following list some entries have been for convenience inserted from MSS. Wood F. 46-51, Ashm. Mus. c. 1, the whole series forming the bulk of the papers on which Wood's Atheme Oxonienses is based. They do not however satisfactorily allow of summary treatment.
The chief writers are:
- Abington, Thomas (3), 1672-93 (fol. 2)
- Adams, Fitzherbert, rector of Lincoln coll. (1), Aug. 8, 1691 (fol. 10: cf. MS. Lister 3, fol. 3)
- Allam, Andrew (9), 1680-5 (fol. 24)
