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:

  1. Getsius, Walter (3), 1693-4 (fol. 18).
  2. Gibbesius or Ghibbesius, Jacobus Albanus (2), 1673 (fol. 24: MS. Wood F. 46, fol. 98).
  3. Goodall, Charles (6), 1693-5 (fol. 48).
