Prizing Books

The first 4 volumes were known as the Prizing or Prising Books (1597-1788) and the fifth volume as the Transfer Book.

Volumes 1-4 list the rooms transferred from one Fellow to another, with details of fittings and furniture, and the expenditure on them by successive tenants. Each tenant compensated his predecessor for improvements made. Rooms were assigned to Fellows only, and while, undergraduates slept with them or under their supervision in adjoining rooms, one cannot tell from the books where junior members were housed.

Rooms assigned to 'College' without further ascription were apparently those for the junior members, and they occur especially in Third Court which was devoted to undergraduate accommodation in the 18th century.

Also includes a volume compiled by AF Torry of notes and indices for the Prizing Books.
