CHAPTER XV ENGLISH AND SCOTTISH EDUCATION. UNIVERSITIES AND (a) ORIGINAL AUTHORITIES. (i) Manuscripts. Vast stores of documents referring to the early history of Oxford and Cambridge are to be found in the treasuries or muniment rooms of the several colleges, and in the registries of the two universities. Thomas Baker (1656–1740), sometime Fellow of St John's, a laborious and accurate antiquarian, left extensive writings, which are preserved in the Harleian collection in the British Museum and in the Cambridge University Library. In the antiquarian collections made by William Cole (171482), vicar of Milton, Cambridgeshire, and bequeathed by him to the British Museum, is much useful material extracted by him from original sources. (ii) Printed Books. (1) CAMBRIDGE. Documents relating to the University and Colleges of Cambridge. 3 vols. 1852. These volumes contain the Statuta Antiqua of the university, together with charters, statutes and other records furnished to the university commission of the time by Cambridge authorities and by the custodians of various national collections. Statuta Academiae Cantabrigiensis. Cambridge, 1785. (2) OXFORD. Statutes of the Colleges of Oxford, with the Royal Patents of Foundation, Corpus Statutorum Universitatis Oxoniensis (with Appendix). Oxford, 1768. (3) SCOTTISH UNIVERSITIES. Fasti Aberdonenses, Selections from the Records of the University and Royal Commission on the State of the Universities and Colleges of Scotland. (4) PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Report of Her Majesty's Commission appointed to enquire into the Revenues and Management of certain Colleges and Schools. 1864. Valuable occasional references to university history and life are made by contemporary chroniclers and poets, amongst whom particular note may be made of Giraldus Cambrensis, The Vision of Piers the Plowman, Matthew |
