MS. Bodl. 282

A Letter-book of the University of Oxford, 'Registrum F. F.', being contemporary copies of about 200 Latin letters written in the name of the University to kings, bishops, chancellors of the University, and other magnates, from 1508 to 1597, as well as of Latin and English letters to the University

Some public business of the University is also recorded in a few places, e.g. at fol. 71v (University Chests, 1524), 109, 123v, 128, 130v, etc.

The general character of the contents may be gathered from the printed edition of the previous Letter-book, 1421-1509 (Oxford Historical Society, vols 35-36), and from the references in Wood's History of the University

Letters from the King, 1522-1534, are at fols 54v, 58, 104 (four), 106v (three), 109, 127v, 129; and there is correspondence with Cardinal Wolsey (part published in Dr R. Fiddes' Life of Cardinal Wolsey, 1724, pp. 32-40, 121-123, cp. pp 180-182), Archbishop Warham and Sir Thomas More.

Fols 109v-118 are occupied with a report on Wycliffe's heretical doctrines, sent to the King in 1530

There are comparatively few entries after 1534

A list of the first twenty-three documents is on fols 138-139
