Copies of Liber privilegiorum et libertatum alme universitatis Cantebrigiensis, 1587, several with annotations and additions

This is traditionally regarded as the Registrary's office copy, conceivably that presented by Hare (see note to Hare A). An armorial charge is at the opening to volume I. Preliminary matter includes:- letter of donation varying from that in Hare A; anathema on alienation from the University, pasted in, but in a style and hand that would be consistent with its having been removed from the original end-papers, the present ones being marbled and probably inserted at some time when action was taken to prevent the upper clasp from damaging pages at the back of volume I. There is additional early Jacobean material at the end and annotations by Registrary Romilly. The text hand is professional scribal secretary, fairly regular. The binding is plain vellum with bosses and clasps and a title label under horn on the front board.
