ShelfmarkDBasten/16
Creation Dateca. 1715 - 1715
Contents NoteNotes of a sermon, unclear if they are auditor's notes or preacher's notes.
Material FeaturesBound in waste vellum that seems to have been used by a child (or the scribe of this manuscript) to practice their penmanship. Written in a very clear, large, round hand. Described as sermon notes but are very extensive. Every point of the sermon has been separated from the other by a dashed line. There has been some damage to the centre of the manuscript.
