Scott and Mayor Statutes: copies

Three copies of 16th-17th century statutes. The first volume includes decrees of seniors 1569, 1627 and the statute regarding law fellowships 19 June 1635. This volume was submitted with a petition to the Home Office in 1848 for a grant of new statutes. It was returned to the College by the Home Office in 1907.

The second volume is the same, with the exception that it omits the decrees of seniors. This volume was purchased by R.F. Scott, when he was Master, in 1918. The volume contains his bookplate and the receipt for purchase.

The third volume contains notes of by-foundations and a copy of the University statutes.
