Abstract/Contents

Summary: MS 110 contains a variety of historical material transcribed by William Woddeson (Woodson) and, in turn, Bodleian MS Jones 4 contains transcripts from this manuscript. There is some emphasis on Winchester in the transcribed documents, but much of the material relates to English history in general. There is also a Reformation tract, 'A discourse proving that priests may lawfully marry', near the end of the volume. The manuscript dates to the sixteenth century.
