Title: Ushaw Library Manuscript Volumes
Dates of creation: 1450-1949
Extent: 98 volumes
Held by: Ushaw College Library
Language: Latin and English
This is an artificial collection comprising of a series of disparate manuscript volumes
The Ushaw Library Manuscript Volumes collection encompasses the relatively small number of individual manuscript volumes that have been shelved alongside the printed items in the various libraries at Ushaw (including the Big Library, Lisbon
Library and Lower Library). In the case of those items located in Bay XVIII, these include some of the most important single items held by Ushaw College. A great proportion of the Bay XVIII collection is students' dictates (the daily method of
teaching in the English seminaries was daily dictation). These dictates are mostly from the English College in Douai with some from Ushaw College. The dictates are bound, although the binding is often of a much later date than the manuscript, and it
is likely that they were subsequently reworked by the student at a later point in time. A number of the volumes are also manuscript copies of other works, mostly rare, on the subject of recusant history, religious controversy or devotional works
from monasteries and convents. Finally, there are also a handful of volumes pertaining to other aspects of the history of the English College in Douai and Ushaw College, including diaries and rule books.
Manuscript volumes located in other bays cover a wide range of subjects, including missionary activity in the Far East in the thirteenth century, papal history, catalogues, seventeenth-century Jansenism, miracles, legal documents including
precedents from the Courts of Chancery, Catholic emancipation
The manuscript volumes have been acquired by Ushaw College at different times and from many different sources. Where it has been possible to ascertain provenance, this is recorded in the catalogue.
Open for consultation.
Permission to make any published use of material from the collection must be sought in advance from pg.library@durham.ac.uk and, where appropriate, from the copyright owner. The Library will assist where possible with identifying copyright
owners, but responsibility for ensuring copyright clearance rests with the user of the material
