Scope and content
Two volumes containing notes, in the same unidentified hand, based on the text of Compendium Christianæ Doctrinæ seu Commentarii Catachetici, being the commentary by the German Lutheran theologian Zacharias Ursinus on the Heidelberg Catechism devised by himself and Caspar Olevian (cf. STC 13023). The notes, perhaps compiled by a Cambridge student, are probably based on a continental Latin edition (Neustadt [an der Hardt], 1598), but at times follow closely the Latin editions printed in Cambridge in 1585 (STC 24529) and 1587 (STC 24531).
Contents: '1589 Compendium christianæ doctrinæ seu commentarii catechetici, deliberatum ex ore zachariæ ursini anno domini 1598' (First line, 'Questio/Quid catechesis sit?'; last line, 'Amen significat ac certum ratinnorum sit quod petimus. finis de precationis') (MS II.35i, ff. 1-141); 'Compendium christianæ doctrinæ, seu commentarii catæchetici' (First line, 'Questio/Quid catechesis sit?'; last line, 'Propter c[onf]irmationem fidei per [c]enam dominicam. D[ ] primo. Joh. ?3 et 35 Secundo rom. 4. 25') (MS II.35ii, ff. 1-79 verso and inside back cover).
