Scope and content
Very extensive contemporary manuscript additions to John Le Neve, Fasti Ecclesiae Anglicanae (London, 1716) bringing the ecclesiastical fasti to 1743 and those of Oxford and Cambridge to 1755 and 1754 respectively, ?in the hand of the Joseph Smith whose autograph appears on p. 1 (possibly Joseph Smith, provost of Queen's College, Oxford). The additions, some of which are included in later editions, appear to be taken from manuscript and printed sources and personal communications received by the writer. Bound into the volume are two printed items: A Catalogue of the Principal Members of the Conventual and Cathedral Church of Ely ... from ... AD 673 to the present Year 1756 (Cambridge, 1756) (ff. 7-10) and A List of the Archbishops and Bishops of England and Wales, since the Restoration 1660 to the year 1753 (ff. 11-12).
