This compilation of records, charters, and statutes, many in the original Latin, was first published in 1852. Volume 2 includes the original charters for seven of the oldest colleges as well as the 1573 will of college founder Dr John Caius.
In the mid-nineteenth century, a royal commission was appointed to investigate 'the state, discipline, studies, and revenues' of Cambridge University, and eventually recommended radical reforms. As part of its brief, it gathered records that had been preserved for centuries as the university evolved. Published in three volumes in 1852 under the title Documents Relating to the University and Colleges of Cambridge, the compilation, much of it in its original Latin, charts the university's emergence as one of the world's leading academic institutions and the challenges it faced along the way. This material remains a valuable resource for historians of British education and society. Volume 2 includes the original charters for seven of the oldest colleges as well as the 1573 will of college founder Dr John Caius.
