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:
- Barksdale, Clement (7), 1671-85 (fol. 4).
- Barlow, bp. Thomas (2), 1685-6 (fol. 19).
- Bathurst, dr. Ralph (1), May 9, 1685 (fol. 36).
