Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 170: Letter Book of Nicholas Collys, Notary
Abstract/Contents
- Summary
- CCCC MS 170 contains an early sixteenth-century copy of the letter book of Nicholas Collys, a notary who flourished during the second half of the fifteenth century and into the sixteenth century. His notarial mark can be found on numerous documents including one in CCCC MS 108 and one in Hertford County Record Office, ASA 4. As Collys was connected to the college of Stoke by Clare in Suffolk, this volume probably came to Parker's attention while he was Dean there.
