[Hand D] [Fols. 54v, 55v, 56v are blank] Cambridge University Library: MS Additional 8460 Miscellany in verse and prose (c.1665-1714. Elizabeth Lyttelton probably began compiling this manuscript in the mid to late 1660s, when she is first mentioned in her father's letters as helping him organize his papers (Keynes, Works, IV, p. 29, letter 21 (13 August 1668)). She might have continued until she gave the manuscript to her cousin Edward Tenison in 1714 (p. 174), though the latest dateable item in the miscellany is 1710 (see Item 6.25).) Elizabeth Lyttelton (author, scribe) Item 2.33 (Book list), pp. 44-45 Thomas Browne (Author) The books which my daughter Elizabeth hath read unto me at nights till she read them all out All Plutarch's Lives ... Many other books, treatises, discourses of several kinds, which may amount unto half the quantity of half the books in folio, which are before set down [This list comprises 28 items and ""some hundreds of sermons"". Most of the books listed are on the subject of travels to or history about the countries of Turkey, China, India, America, and Italy. They also read histories of Great Britain, Queen Elizabeth, and King James (by Baker, Camden, and Speed), Foxe's Book of Martyrs, and classical writers such as Plutarch and Suetonius. The wording of the title suggests that Lyttelton copied the list from a document in Thomas Browne's own hand. Some of the books listed survived in the library of Sir Thomas and Edward which was sold in 1710 (see Jeremiah Finch's A Catalogue of the Libraries of Sir Thomas Browne and Dr Edward Browne, His Son).] [This is the last item in this section. From pages 46 to 174 the pages are all reversed and Lyttelton began compiling material from the back of the volume, which has been rotated to form a new beginning to the volume.] |
