Kenneth Spencer Research Library Archival Collections

This is a manuscript draft dated 1691 for Jacques Boileau’s book, Historia Flagellantium. De recto et perverso flagrorum usu apud Christianos (Paris: Joseph Anisson, 1700). The manuscript consists of text written in one hand, with marginal notes and insertions added in a second hand, both apparently the hands of Boileau’s secretaries. The marginal notes and insertions were incorporated in the 1700 edition.

This collection consists of correspondence from Scottish religious leader Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847), collected from various sources by Spencer Research Library staff.
