Content and context

Cambridge University's history can be dated back to the early thirteenth century, when scholars congregated in the city for the purpose of study. The first college, Peterhouse, was established in 1284.

The volumes belonged formerly to Richard Potter, an examiner in 1842. They passed to his nephew M.C. Potter, who presented them to John Willis Clark. Bequeathed by John Willis Clark, 1910.
