Description:
Matthew Parker's manuscript collection naturally reflects his interest in Reformation theology and theologians and the religious debates which took place in the sixteenth century. MS 113 is one of the compilations of tracts and letters Parker assembled from his collection. About half the volume consists of letters written by prominent men such as Martin Bucer (1491-1551) and Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560) and the other half consists mainly of tracts written by such men. Topics addressed in these tracts and letters include issues such as the abolition of altars and clerical marriage. The manuscript dates to the third quarter of the sixteenth century.
