Description:
MS 118 is a collection of letters, documents and injunctions which are predominantly relevant to Cambridge University. Considering Parker's association with the university, he was elected master of Corpus Christi College in 1544 and then as vice-chancellor of the university in 1545 and 1548, it is unsurprising to find a collection of letters and documents concerning it among his collection.
