Notes on tragedy, &c,

A volume containing mainly notes in Latin on tragedy, and on Classical literature and philosophy, [1598x1600], in various hands, but mainly that of Emmanuell Giffard (MA 1603, d. 1633), of Christ's College, Cambridge, later MP for Rye and for Bury St Edmunds (see Alumni Cantabrigienses). Giffard received the book as a gift from John Stead (f. 78 verso), admitted to the same college as fellow-commoner 1598-9 (see Alumni Cantabrigienses).
The main subjects of study are the tragedies of Seneca (ff. 6-54 verso). A few medical notes are included (ff. 1-2).
