Description
  • An illustrated guide to Oxford University prepared for Queen Elizabeth I, with ink drawings by John Bereblock, Fellow of Exeter College, of the colleges and University buildings, mostly the earliest known. The text is a Latin verse dialogue by Thomas Neal, Regius Professor of Hebrew, in which the Queen and her favourite, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester (her host as Chancellor of the University) are imagined as discussing the University and its benefactors prior to her first official visit in 1566. This is very likely the copy presented to the Queen by Neal on 5 Sept. 1566.
