OxfordJohn R. Elliott Co-published with the British Museum as part of a reference series on English history, theater, and music up to 1642, this two-volume set presents records for Oxford (both the university and the city) arranged chronologically by institution of origin (rather than the document's current location). The entries identify the document quoted and transcribe the relevant passage. (Because they've already been published, documents in the Bodleian Library are listed but not described.) The texts are in old English and Latin; modern English translations are in v.2. Activities covered include traveling players and minstrels, civic ceremonies, decree feasts, and the royal visit of 1636; and much of the material comes from account books that list expenses and payments to participants. The documents are described in detail in v.2 as part of the reference's extensive explanatory material, which also includes a history of Oxford, and of drama, music and ceremonial customs in the area. The many substantial appendices. |
