- Description
-
- Parts I and II of 'Monumenta Britannica' by John Aubrey, chiefly
written in about 1665-93, with notes added by John Evelyn and Dr
Thomas Gale. These volumes contain a large amount of curious
observations and original work, and are of considerable value from
the numerous illustrations and the first-hand information relating
to British antiquities.
Provenance: At Aubrey's death in 1697 these manuscripts were in the possession of Awnsham Churchill, a London bookseller, and in 1755 and 1780 owned by a nephew of the same names, and in 1817 by William Churchill a son of the last-named, from whom they passed to a cousin, Col. Sir Charles Greville. Greville sold the manuscripts to the Bodleian for £50 in 1836.
Contents: Part I (ff. 17r-135v): Templum Druidum (ff. 20r-80v). A Review of Stonehenge (ff. 81r-93v). Religio Druidum (ff. 94r-103v). An apparatus of the Bards (ff. 105r-131v). Part II (ff. 136v-278r): Campes (ff. 137r-197v). Castells (ff. 198r-208v). Miltarie Architecture (209r-212v). Roman Townes (ff. 213r-264v). Pitts (ff. 265r-267r). Hornes (ff. 268r-277r).
