Description | Manuscript volume, 'A memorial of God's last twenty nine years wonders in England, for its preservation and deliverance from Popery and slavery...from the restitution of Charles II to the abdication of James II. 1689', with the text set out in the form of a printed book, apparently a copy of the printed edition. Folio 2v bears the signature J Taylor, 1753.
The binding is covered with a fragment from an earlier manuscript, probably a 14th century noted missal. Text in a gothic book hand in two columns, black in with red pen flourishes, initals and rubrication. Remnants of green (perhaps originally blue?) initials are visible on the front of the volume, some of which may be showing through from the reverse of the folio or transferred from other items. Musical notation in a square style on a 4-line stave is visible on the front of the volume, but is very worn. The text of the Creed is legible on the back of the volume. The fragment is damaged across the spine portion, with several pieces missing. |
