SJC Accounts: donations & Countess of Devonshire

Accounts of donations received (pp. 1-3) and for money assigned by Henry VIII from Katherine, Countess of Devonshire to Lady Margaret Beaufort's executors (pp 9-15). The last item listed on p.3 is for 6s. paid for a Greek vocabulary bought for the use of the College's library.

Also includes the account of Nicholas Metcalfe for money due to the estate of Lady Margaret.

Computus of Robert Shorton

Includes: The computus (account roll) for building the College and a later copy from 1638. The copy lists an inaccurate start date for the original roll. A copy of the computus in the Register of Inventories [SJAR/6/2/1] giving 31 January as the start date is almost contemporary with the original roll.
