Component identifier:

Item 15

Content Summary:

Manuscript neatly written, chapter headings in red ink. Contemporary calf with central gilt emblems on sides with initials of Thomas Clifford burnt in on top of the emblem.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The collection was purchased by the National Library of Australia from the estate of the 11th Baron Clifford in November 1963. It reached Canberra in April 1964. The Chertsey Cartulary (item 65), possibly the most important medieval manuscript held in Australia due to the fact that it is one of only three extant from the 14th century and the only one held outside the UK, was received in 1975, following the granting of an export licence by the British Government.

Names:

Clifford, Hugh, Colonel Hon.
