Poetical manuscript commonplace book
Manuscripts
A verse miscellany, entitled "Poetical Manuscript Commonplace book" on the spine and "English Verses, Time of James and Charles the First" within the volume; it is written in a single neat italic hand, probably written in Oxford, England, approximately 1635, and associated with Christ Church College, Oxford University. The volume contains 108 poems, almost all of which are presented anonymously; there are mentions of race and skin color and more than 60 of the poems concern women, love, or marriage. Some of the poems are attributed to, among others, Thomas Carew, Richard Corbet, Robert Herrick, Ben Jonson, Henry King, Thomas Randolph, and William Strode. The volume has 19th-century foliation and a list of contents in the front. The volume is bound in contemporary calf, sewn on four alum-tawed slips, covers with a single gilt rule border, head of spine has some damage, and the end leaves were replaced in approximately 1830; also, with a catalogue cutting pasted inside front cover and a morocco-backed slipcase.
