The History and Antiquities of the Colleges and Halls in the University of Oxford: by Anthony Wood. Now First Published in English, From the Original Manuscript in the Bodleian Library; with a Continuation to the Present Time: by the editor, John Gutch, M.A. Chaplain of All Couls' College.
Oxford, at the Clarendon Prees: Printed for the Editor. MDCCLXXXVI [1786].
First English Edition. 4to., original full calf, spine gilt in compartments, maroon calf gilt title label; pp. [xvi]+692. Large paper issue. Hinges cracked, bookplate pasted down, probably the Earl of Effingham.
Anthony Wood (1632-95), an antiquary, first published this book, the first history of the University in 1674, as 'Hist. and Antiq. of the Universitie of Oxon', although the text was in Latin. The following year David Loggan's 'Oxonia Illustrata' was issued, designed to complement Wood's history, with instructions on where to insert the plates in his text. This edition was based on a revised manuscript that Wood was still working on when he died, which he left to the Bodleian Library. Gutch published an appendix in 1790 and 'The History and Antiquities of the University of Oxford, in two books' (actually three volumes) in 1792 & 1796. John Gutch (1746-1831) held the post of Chaplain of All Souls for over sixty years, and was also made college librarian (1771), chaplain of Corpus Christi College (1778) and Registrar of the University (1797).
