A notebook containing notes on sermons heard by Thomas Aldersley at Oxford from 1653-55. The sermon notes are in Aldersley’s hand. This appears to the seventh notebook of the twenty owned by Aldersey held at the Bodleian. There are fairly substantial notes on each sermon. The index (fols. 2-3) provides a short statement of the theme of each sermon (i.e. “a sermon touching ….”). Contains sermons preached by Dr. Henry Wilkinson (fols. 1-15, 25-30), Dr. John Wallis (fols. 15-20, 31-5, 53-9, 103-9, 141-5), Dr. John Conant (fols. 47-53), Thomas Cole (fols. 62-8), Rev. Dr. Henry Wilkinson (fols. 69-71, 82-3, 158v-157v), John Wilkins (fols. 77-81), Dr. Edward Reynolds (fols. 94-101), Dr. Henry Savage (fols. 109-12), and Dr. John Owen (fols. 113-17), among others.
151 leaves. Ruled calf binding. Very good condition. Numbered '7' inside upper cover. Written on rectos only, and then in reverse on versos
This is one of twenty notebooks owned by Aldersey that were purchased by the Bodleian from Sotheby's, as lot 323, on 18 December 1986.
