GB 247 MS Gen 435
Creation Date
1693 - 1702
Contents Note

The manuscript contains notes for 64 sermons by various preachers, dated between 1693 and 1702. The author of the manuscript is unknown and the MS contains to ownership marks. The hand is inconsistent throughout and further examination would need to confirm that it is all in one hand. The dates of sermons also jump around and it seems likely that the MS is in fact a number of smaller notebooks that have been bound together at a later date. There is an index at the beginning detailing the preacher, book/chapter/verse and page number(s). Another index can be found on pp.61-62, supporting idea that these are separate notebooks.

Material Features

A small notebook with paper-mache binding. The binding remains but is substantially damaged, the back layers are detached and part is missing. The paper edging is very frayed, some pages are folded over and there are some tears but there is not any loss of text and sermons remain legible.

Associated People
