Title
The Fierie Furnace of King Nebuchadnezzar preached in eight sermons
Shelfmark
GB 247 MS Gen 386
Creation Date
ca. 1623 - 1653
Contents Note

Eight sermons on Nebuchadnezzar in the hand of the author. Front page notes that the sermons were preached 'by M Zacharie Boyd minister of Gods word at Glasgowe.' These eight connected sermons are followed by a further forty sermons on a variety of themes. The majority of pp.939-989 appear to be written in a different hand, although the sermon titles are still in Boyd's usual hand (further examination would be needed to confirm this).

Material Features

Large volumes of parchment bound in leather. Delicate/broken spine and worn parchment but in largely good condition with very little writing obscured by damage. Page numbers appear to be original to the MS, 1563 pages.

Provenance

Part of a large volume of works that Boyd bequeathed to the University upon his death in 1653. Have been cared for by the university from this date.
