Later owned by Richard Rawlinson (1690-1755).

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as Rawlinson MS I: PsK Δ 6.

This MS recorded in Thomas.

Copy.

Including 27 poems by Cowley; eleven poems by Katherine Philips, evidently derived from printed sources; 10 poems by Rochester, as well as apocryphal items; twelve poems by Sedley, plus one of doubtful authorship; and 15 poems by Waller, evidently derived from printed sources.

A note on a flyleaf relating to the bookseller John Dunton (1659-1733): John Dunton His Book, for which Mr. Corbet at y^e Addisons Head, accepted One Half Guinea in full Payment for it, as Witness my Hand, Hannah Rakley. A note on f. 1: Since I had transcrib'd this whole Book, I met with some state Poems of these later times, mostly since K. George's Accession to the Crown [1714] which I have here inserted, as a supplement to these state Poems which make a part of this Collection by themselves. Date at the end of the volume: 1718, and some notes on a flyleaf dated 1724.

The M^r. Corbet from whom Dunton purchased this MS was evidently the bookseller Thomas Corbett (fl. 1705-43), who ran his business at the Addison's Head, next to the Rose Tavern, without Temple Bar, from 1719 until his death in 1743. Neither Dunton nor Corbett are known to have used this MS for publication purposes.

Arms of the Trevor family and the initials I D stamped on the cover. Inscribed names of Francis Stephens (Liber Donum Francisci Stephens) and, later, of E.H. Baker (on the front pastedown).

Afterwards owned by Charles de Beaumont, the Chevalière d'Éon (1728-1810). Later owned by Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872): Phillipps MS 9500. In the Shakespearian Library of Marsden J. Perry (1850-1935), industrialist, banker, and art and book collector, of Providence, Rhode Island. American Art Association, New York, 11-12 March 1936.

Autograph.

Comprising Philips's autograph corrected fair copies of 55 poems and titles only of two other poems, grouped according to subject and genre (and some alternate crowding and blank-spacing in the middle, as well as blocks of entries in different inks, showing a conscious attempt by the poet to preserve such units), with later notes and inscriptions in other hands, the latest poem dated 13 January 1657/8 (p. 125).

Two of the missing leaves from this volume — originally between the present pp. 88 and 89 and containing yet another poem — have now been identified at the University of Kentucky (see PsK 326). It is likely that a missing third leaf at this point would have contained A Dialogue between Lucasia and Orinda (Say, my Orinda, why so sad?): see Hageman & Sununu, EMS, 4 (1993).

Later owned by William Hall (1748-1825), antiquary and bookseller in King's Lynn, Norfolk; in 1824 by Thomas George Kidd (1770-1850), headmaster of King's Lynn School; and c.1904 by John Ramsden Tutin (1855-1913), bookseller of Hull. Thomas (I, 42) reports that this MS passed through the hands of P.J. and A.E. Dobell in 1920, as did NLW MS 776B. However, it is clear from correspondence in the National Library of Wales that the Library acquired the MS directly from Tutin just before his death (which occurred on 13 December 1913).

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Tutin MS: PsK Δ 1. Fifteen poems are edited from this MS in Tutin (1905). A facsimile of p. 55 of the MS appears as the frontispiece to his earlier edition of 1904 (see PsK 372).

This MS used extensively as copy-text in Thomas's edition (1990), and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation. Some poems edited from this MS in Hageman (1987), and a few poems printed from Thomas's edition (as presented earlier in his doctoral dissertation of 1982) in Kissing the Rod. Also briefly discussed in Elms (inaccurately), in Mambretti (1977), and in Lucy Brashear, Gleanings from the Orinda Holograph, AN&Q, 23 (1985), 100-2. For a facsimile of p. 101 (PsK 105), see IELM, II.ii, Facsimile VII, after p. xxi.

Edited from this MS in Tutin (1905), pp. 11-12, and in Thomas; discussed in Elmen.

Copy, headed Of Humane Pleasure.

With a prose preface (pp. 5-7), subscribed Polex^r: [i.e. Polexander], dedicated To the Excellent Rosania [i.e. Mary Aubrey], eulogising the friendship between her and the deceased Orinda [Katherine Philips] and Rosania's attendance at Orinda's fatal illness, mentioning that the subsequent collection (these clear streams) was bequeathed to Rosania by the poet, noting her reluctance To appear in Print, but adding, I confess, an Edition, now, would gratify her admirers.

The volume — which notably lacks Philips's critical poem on Rosania, On Rosania's Apostacy, and Lucasia's Friendship, probably as an act of discretion by the compiler — appears to be a copy of Katherine Philips's poems transcribed or edited from her papers shortly after her death and presented to Mary Aubrey (1631-1700), wife of William Montagu (1619?-1706), later Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by a mutual friend in accordance with the poet's last wishes.

Owned in 1920 by P.J. and A.E. Dobell.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Rosania MS: PsK Δ 2. Collated, and very occasionally used as copy-text, in Thomas, and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation; some poems also in Hageman (1987). Briefly discussed in Elms; in Mambretti (1977) (where the name Polex^r: is misread as Pole:r and identified as possibly Sir Charles Cottrell); and in C.A. Limbert, Katherine Philips: Another Step-father and Another Sibling, Mrs. C.P., and Polex^r:, Restoration, 13 (1989), 2-6.

Limbert suggests that Polexander might be Sir William Temple, the name perhaps deriving from Marin le Roy de Gomberville's romance Polexandre which Temple's wife, Dorothy Osborne, certainly read, and Temple was also author of a poem on Orinda's death: see William Roberts, Sir William Temple on Orinda. Neglected Publications, PBSA, 57 (19634), 328-36. See also Thomas, II, 177-8, where it is suggested the name may indicate one of Cotterell's colleagues at the Hague.

Hageman and Andrea Sununu, More Copies of it abroad than I could have imagin'd: Further Manuscript Texts of Katherine Philips, the Matchless Orinda, EMS, 5 (1995), 127-69 (pp. 147-50), and, with facsimiles of pp. 5, 7, 274, and the binding, in Peter Beal, In Praise of Scribes (1998), pp. 168-73.

The volume — which notably lacks Philips's critical poem on Rosania, On Rosania's Apostacy, and Lucasia's Friendship, probably as an act of discretion by the compiler — appears to be a copy of Katherine Philips's poems transcribed or edited from her papers shortly after her death and presented to Mary Aubrey (1631-1700), wife of William Montagu (1619?-1706), later Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by a mutual friend in accordance with the poet's last wishes.

Limbert, Katherine Philips: Another Step-father and Another Sibling, Mrs. C.P., and Polex^r:, Restoration, 13 (1989), 2-6.

Limbert suggests that Polexander might be Sir William Temple, the name perhaps deriving from Marin le Roy de Gomberville's romance Polexandre which Temple's wife, Dorothy Osborne, certainly read, and Temple was also author of a poem on Orinda's death: see William Roberts, Sir William Temple on Orinda.

Inscribed (f. 1v, in a court hand) Daniell Leare his Booke, witnesse William Strode, and (f. 164r) M^r Daniell Leare eius Liber: i.e. compiled chiefly by Daniel Leare, a distant cousin of the poet William Strode, probably at Christ Church, Oxford, before he entered the Middle Temple in 1633.

This suggestion, by Mary Hobbs, is supported by entries in the Caution Book of 1625-41 at Christ Church, where Strode is found (p. 22) paying £10 as college security for Leare and where Leare signs (p. 23) on this sum's repayment by Dr Fell on 13 May 1633. Forey suggests (p. lxxix) that he was the Daniell Leare of St Andrews, Holburne, whose will was proved in 1652; but it is more likely that he was the Daniel Leare to whom Henry King, Dean of Rochester, leased property at Chatham on 19 July 1655 (National Archives, Kew, SP 18/99/61). Daniel Leare's wife, Dorothy, was a member of the Hubert family with whom King was associated by virtue of the marriage of his sister Dorothy.

The volume includes 12 poems by Donne; 15 poems (plus a second copy of one and three of doubtful authorship) by Carew; 20 poems (plus two of uncertain authorship) by Corbett; and 84 poems (plus second copies of eight poems, four poems of doubtful authorship and some apocryphal poems) by Strode, the texts being closely related to, and in part probably transcribed from, the Corpus MS of Strode's poems (StW Δ 1).

Inscribed also John Leare (probably Daniel's younger brother); (f. 1r) Anthony Euans his booke (who married Daniel Leare's niece Dorothy Leare in 1663); (f. 1v) Alexander Croke his Book 1773; and (f. 164v) John Scott (who matriculated at Christ Church in 1632). Rimell & Son, 9 November 1878.

Autograph.

Comprising Philips's autograph corrected fair copies of 55 poems and titles only of two other poems, grouped according to subject and genre (and some alternate crowding and blank-spacing in the middle, as well as blocks of entries in different inks, showing a conscious attempt by the poet to preserve such units), with later notes and inscriptions in other hands, the latest poem dated 13 January 1657/8 (p. 125).

Two of the missing leaves from this volume — originally between the present pp. 88 and 89 and containing yet another poem — have now been identified at the University of Kentucky (see PsK 326). It is likely that a missing third leaf at this point would have contained A Dialogue between Lucasia and Orinda (Say, my Orinda, why so sad?): see Hageman & Sununu, EMS, 4 (1993).

Later owned by William Hall (1748-1825), antiquary and bookseller in King's Lynn, Norfolk; in 1824 by Thomas George Kidd (1770-1850), headmaster of King's Lynn School; and c.1904 by John Ramsden Tutin (1855-1913), bookseller of Hull. Thomas (I, 42) reports that this MS passed through the hands of P.J. and A.E. Dobell in 1920, as did NLW MS 776B. However, it is clear from correspondence in the National Library of Wales that the Library acquired the MS directly from Tutin just before his death (which occurred on 13 December 1913).

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Tutin MS: PsK Δ 1. Fifteen poems are edited from this MS in Tutin (1905). A facsimile of p. 55 of the MS appears as the frontispiece to his earlier edition of 1904 (see PsK 372).

This MS used extensively as copy-text in Thomas's edition (1990), and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation. Some poems edited from this MS in Hageman (1987), and a few poems printed from Thomas's edition (as presented earlier in his doctoral dissertation of 1982) in Kissing the Rod.

A note on a flyleaf relating to the bookseller John Dunton (1659-1733): John Dunton His Book, for which Mr. Corbet at y^e Addisons Head, accepted One Half Guinea in full Payment for it, as Witness my Hand, Hannah Rakley. A note on f. 1: Since I had transcrib'd this whole Book, I met with some state Poems of these later times, mostly since K. George's Accession to the Crown [1714] which I have here inserted, as a supplement to these state Poems which make a part of this Collection by themselves. Date at the end of the volume: 1718, and some notes on a flyleaf dated 1724.

The M^r. Corbet from whom Dunton purchased this MS was evidently the bookseller Thomas Corbett (fl. 1705-43), who ran his business at the Addison's Head, next to the Rose Tavern, without Temple Bar, from 1719 until his death in 1743.

Copy, headed A Dialogue of Absence betwixt Lucasia & Orinda. set by m^r. Lawes.

With a prose preface (pp. 5-7), subscribed Polex^r: [i.e. Polexander], dedicated To the Excellent Rosania [i.e. Mary Aubrey], eulogising the friendship between her and the deceased Orinda [Katherine Philips] and Rosania's attendance at Orinda's fatal illness, mentioning that the subsequent collection (these clear streams) was bequeathed to Rosania by the poet, noting her reluctance To appear in Print, but adding, I confess, an Edition, now, would gratify her admirers.

The volume — which notably lacks Philips's critical poem on Rosania, On Rosania's Apostacy, and Lucasia's Friendship, probably as an act of discretion by the compiler — appears to be a copy of Katherine Philips's poems transcribed or edited from her papers shortly after her death and presented to Mary Aubrey (1631-1700), wife of William Montagu (1619?-1706), later Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by a mutual friend in accordance with the poet's last wishes.

Owned in 1920 by P.J. and A.E. Dobell.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Rosania MS: PsK Δ 2. Collated, and very occasionally used as copy-text, in Thomas, and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation; some poems also in Hageman (1987). Briefly discussed in Elms; in Mambretti (1977) (where the name Polex^r: is misread as Pole:r and identified as possibly Sir Charles Cottrell); and in C.A. Limbert, Katherine Philips: Another Step-father and Another Sibling, Mrs. C.P., and Polex^r:, Restoration, 13 (1989), 2-6.

Limbert suggests that Polexander might be Sir William Temple, the name perhaps deriving from Marin le Roy de Gomberville's romance Polexandre which Temple's wife, Dorothy Osborne, certainly read, and Temple was also author of a poem on Orinda's death: see William Roberts, Sir William Temple on Orinda. Neglected Publications, PBSA, 57 (19634), 328-36. See also Thomas, II, 177-8, where it is suggested the name may indicate one of Cotterell's colleagues at the Hague.

Autograph, the name in the title here given as Beddington.

Comprising Philips's autograph corrected fair copies of 55 poems and titles only of two other poems, grouped according to subject and genre (and some alternate crowding and blank-spacing in the middle, as well as blocks of entries in different inks, showing a conscious attempt by the poet to preserve such units), with later notes and inscriptions in other hands, the latest poem dated 13 January 1657/8 (p. 125).

Two of the missing leaves from this volume — originally between the present pp. 88 and 89 and containing yet another poem — have now been identified at the University of Kentucky (see PsK 326). It is likely that a missing third leaf at this point would have contained A Dialogue between Lucasia and Orinda (Say, my Orinda, why so sad?): see Hageman & Sununu, EMS, 4 (1993).

Later owned by William Hall (1748-1825), antiquary and bookseller in King's Lynn, Norfolk; in 1824 by Thomas George Kidd (1770-1850), headmaster of King's Lynn School; and c.1904 by John Ramsden Tutin (1855-1913), bookseller of Hull. Thomas (I, 42) reports that this MS passed through the hands of P.J. and A.E. Dobell in 1920, as did NLW MS 776B. However, it is clear from correspondence in the National Library of Wales that the Library acquired the MS directly from Tutin just before his death (which occurred on 13 December 1913).

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Tutin MS: PsK Δ 1. Fifteen poems are edited from this MS in Tutin (1905). A facsimile of p. 55 of the MS appears as the frontispiece to his earlier edition of 1904 (see PsK 372).

This MS used extensively as copy-text in Thomas's edition (1990), and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation. Some poems edited from this MS in Hageman (1987), and a few poems printed from Thomas's edition (as presented earlier in his doctoral dissertation of 1982) in Kissing the Rod.

Thomas (I, 42) reports that this MS passed through the hands of P.J. and A.E. Dobell in 1920, as did NLW MS 776B. However, it is clear from correspondence in the National Library of Wales that the Library acquired the MS directly from Tutin just before his death (which occurred on 13 December 1913).

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Tutin MS: PsK Δ 1. Fifteen poems are edited from this MS in Tutin (1905). A facsimile of p. 55 of the MS appears as the frontispiece to his earlier edition of 1904 (see PsK 372).

This MS used extensively as copy-text in Thomas's edition (1990), and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation. Some poems edited from this MS in Hageman (1987), and a few poems printed from Thomas's edition (as presented earlier in his doctoral dissertation of 1982) in Kissing the Rod. Also briefly discussed in Elms (inaccurately), in Mambretti (1977), and in Lucy Brashear, Gleanings from the Orinda Holograph, AN&Q, 23 (1985), 100-2. For a facsimile of p. 101 (PsK 105), see IELM, II.ii, Facsimile VII, after p. xxi.

Edited from this MS in Tutin (1905), in Elmen, in Hageman, and in Thomas.

With a prose preface (pp. 5-7), subscribed Polex^r: [i.e. Polexander], dedicated To the Excellent Rosania [i.e. Mary Aubrey], eulogising the friendship between her and the deceased Orinda [Katherine Philips] and Rosania's attendance at Orinda's fatal illness, mentioning that the subsequent collection (these clear streams) was bequeathed to Rosania by the poet, noting her reluctance To appear in Print, but adding, I confess, an Edition, now, would gratify her admirers.

The volume — which notably lacks Philips's critical poem on Rosania, On Rosania's Apostacy, and Lucasia's Friendship, probably as an act of discretion by the compiler — appears to be a copy of Katherine Philips's poems transcribed or edited from her papers shortly after her death and presented to Mary Aubrey (1631-1700), wife of William Montagu (1619?-1706), later Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by a mutual friend in accordance with the poet's last wishes.

Briefly discussed in Elms; in Mambretti (1977) (where the name Polex^r: is misread as Pole:r and identified as possibly Sir Charles Cottrell); and in C.A. Limbert, Katherine Philips: Another Step-father and Another Sibling, Mrs. C.P., and Polex^r:, Restoration, 13 (1989), 2-6.

Limbert suggests that Polexander might be Sir William Temple, the name perhaps deriving from Marin le Roy de Gomberville's romance Polexandre which Temple's wife, Dorothy Osborne, certainly read, and Temple was also author of a poem on Orinda's death: see William Roberts, Sir William Temple on Orinda. Neglected Publications, PBSA, 57 (19634), 328-36. See also Thomas, II, 177-8, where it is suggested the name may indicate one of Cotterell's colleagues at the Hague.

A note on a flyleaf relating to the bookseller John Dunton (1659-1733): John Dunton His Book, for which Mr. Corbet at y^e Addisons Head, accepted One Half Guinea in full Payment for it, as Witness my Hand, Hannah Rakley. A note on f. 1: Since I had transcrib'd this whole Book, I met with some state Poems of these later times, mostly since K. George's Accession to the Crown [1714] which I have here inserted, as a supplement to these state Poems which make a part of this Collection by themselves. Date at the end of the volume: 1718, and some notes on a flyleaf dated 1724.

The M^r. Corbet from whom Dunton purchased this MS was evidently the bookseller Thomas Corbett (fl. 1705-43), who ran his business at the Addison's Head, next to the Rose Tavern, without Temple Bar, from 1719 until his death in 1743.

Neglected Publications, PBSA, 57 (19634), 328-36. See also Thomas, II, 177-8, where it is suggested the name may indicate one of Cotterell's colleagues at the Hague.

Hageman and Andrea Sununu, More Copies of it abroad than I could have imagin'd: Further Manuscript Texts of Katherine Philips, the Matchless Orinda, EMS, 5 (1995), 127-69 (pp. 147-50), and, with facsimiles of pp. 5, 7, 274, and the binding, in Peter Beal, In Praise of Scribes (1998), pp. 168-73.

Thomas conjectures that this MS may have been transcribed by Dering from Katherine Philips's autograph texts at some time during her stay in Dublin, between July 1662 and July 1663, when Dering was there as Commissioner for the Settlement of Ireland.

Puttick & Simpson's, 8 June 1858 (Dering sale), lot 1654, to Sir Thomas Phillipps, Bt (1792-1872), manuscript and book collector: Phillipps MS 14937. Sotheby's, 29 June 1965, lot 223, to El Dieff. Formerly Pre-1700 MS 151.

The later additions partly compiled by George Clarke (1661-1736), politician and virtuoso (whose bookplate is inside the cover and whose family coat of arms is on f. [iv]), son of Sir William Clarke (1623?-66), Secretary of War to the Commonwealth and Charles II.

Inside the front cover inscribed E[?] Barrow, evidently a member of the family of Samuel Barrow (1625-82), Royal Physician and friend of John Milton, Barrow being the second husband of Sir William Clarke's widow, Dorothy (d.1695). Formerly MSS 6. 13.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Clarke MS: PsK Δ 5. See also Elizabeth H. Hageman, Treacherous Accidents, and the Abominable Printing of Katherine Philips's 1664 Poems, in New Ways of Looking at Old Texts, III, ed. W. Speed Hill (Tempe, AZ, 2004), pp. 85-95.

Including 27 poems by Cowley; eleven poems by Katherine Philips, evidently derived from printed sources; 10 poems by Rochester, as well as apocryphal items; twelve poems by Sedley, plus one of doubtful authorship; and 15 poems by Waller, evidently derived from printed sources.

A note on a flyleaf relating to the bookseller John Dunton (1659-1733): John Dunton His Book, for which Mr. Corbet at y^e Addisons Head, accepted One Half Guinea in full Payment for it, as Witness my Hand, Hannah Rakley. A note on f. 1: Since I had transcrib'd this whole Book, I met with some state Poems of these later times, mostly since K. George's Accession to the Crown [1714] which I have here inserted, as a supplement to these state Poems which make a part of this Collection by themselves. Date at the end of the volume: 1718, and some notes on a flyleaf dated 1724.

The M^r. Corbet from whom Dunton purchased this MS was evidently the bookseller Thomas Corbett (fl. 1705-43), who ran his business at the Addison's Head, next to the Rose Tavern, without Temple Bar, from 1719 until his death in 1743. Neither Dunton nor Corbett are known to have used this MS for publication purposes.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Dunton MS: PsK Δ 8; RoJ Δ 4; SeC Δ 1; WaE Δ 10.

Autograph, with revisions.

Comprising Philips's autograph corrected fair copies of 55 poems and titles only of two other poems, grouped according to subject and genre (and some alternate crowding and blank-spacing in the middle, as well as blocks of entries in different inks, showing a conscious attempt by the poet to preserve such units), with later notes and inscriptions in other hands, the latest poem dated 13 January 1657/8 (p. 125).

Two of the missing leaves from this volume — originally between the present pp. 88 and 89 and containing yet another poem — have now been identified at the University of Kentucky (see PsK 326). It is likely that a missing third leaf at this point would have contained A Dialogue between Lucasia and Orinda (Say, my Orinda, why so sad?): see Hageman & Sununu, EMS, 4 (1993).

Later owned by William Hall (1748-1825), antiquary and bookseller in King's Lynn, Norfolk; in 1824 by Thomas George Kidd (1770-1850), headmaster of King's Lynn School; and c.1904 by John Ramsden Tutin (1855-1913), bookseller of Hull. Thomas (I, 42) reports that this MS passed through the hands of P.J. and A.E. Dobell in 1920, as did NLW MS 776B. However, it is clear from correspondence in the National Library of Wales that the Library acquired the MS directly from Tutin just before his death (which occurred on 13 December 1913).

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Tutin MS: PsK Δ 1. Fifteen poems are edited from this MS in Tutin (1905). A facsimile of p. 55 of the MS appears as the frontispiece to his earlier edition of 1904 (see PsK 372).

This MS used extensively as copy-text in Thomas's edition (1990), and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation. Some poems edited from this MS in Hageman (1987), and a few poems printed from Thomas's edition (as presented earlier in his doctoral dissertation of 1982) in Kissing the Rod. Also briefly discussed in Elms (inaccurately), in Mambretti (1977), and in Lucy Brashear, Gleanings from the Orinda Holograph, AN&Q, 23 (1985), 100-2.

With a prose preface (pp. 5-7), subscribed Polex^r: [i.e. Polexander], dedicated To the Excellent Rosania [i.e. Mary Aubrey], eulogising the friendship between her and the deceased Orinda [Katherine Philips] and Rosania's attendance at Orinda's fatal illness, mentioning that the subsequent collection (these clear streams) was bequeathed to Rosania by the poet, noting her reluctance To appear in Print, but adding, I confess, an Edition, now, would gratify her admirers.

The volume — which notably lacks Philips's critical poem on Rosania, On Rosania's Apostacy, and Lucasia's Friendship, probably as an act of discretion by the compiler — appears to be a copy of Katherine Philips's poems transcribed or edited from her papers shortly after her death and presented to Mary Aubrey (1631-1700), wife of William Montagu (1619?-1706), later Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by a mutual friend in accordance with the poet's last wishes.

Comprising Philips's autograph corrected fair copies of 55 poems and titles only of two other poems, grouped according to subject and genre (and some alternate crowding and blank-spacing in the middle, as well as blocks of entries in different inks, showing a conscious attempt by the poet to preserve such units), with later notes and inscriptions in other hands, the latest poem dated 13 January 1657/8 (p. 125).

Two of the missing leaves from this volume — originally between the present pp. 88 and 89 and containing yet another poem — have now been identified at the University of Kentucky (see PsK 326). It is likely that a missing third leaf at this point would have contained A Dialogue between Lucasia and Orinda (Say, my Orinda, why so sad?): see Hageman & Sununu, EMS, 4 (1993).

Later owned by William Hall (1748-1825), antiquary and bookseller in King's Lynn, Norfolk; in 1824 by Thomas George Kidd (1770-1850), headmaster of King's Lynn School; and c.1904 by John Ramsden Tutin (1855-1913), bookseller of Hull. Thomas (I, 42) reports that this MS passed through the hands of P.J. and A.E. Dobell in 1920, as did NLW MS 776B. However, it is clear from correspondence in the National Library of Wales that the Library acquired the MS directly from Tutin just before his death (which occurred on 13 December 1913).

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Tutin MS: PsK Δ 1. Fifteen poems are edited from this MS in Tutin (1905). A facsimile of p. 55 of the MS appears as the frontispiece to his earlier edition of 1904 (see PsK 372).

This MS used extensively as copy-text in Thomas's edition (1990), and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation. Some poems edited from this MS in Hageman (1987), and a few poems printed from Thomas's edition (as presented earlier in his doctoral dissertation of 1982) in Kissing the Rod. Also briefly discussed in Elms (inaccurately), in Mambretti (1977), and in Lucy Brashear, Gleanings from the Orinda Holograph, AN&Q, 23 (1985), 100-2. For a facsimile of p. 101 (PsK 105), see IELM, II.ii, Facsimile VII, after p. xxi.

Edited from this MS in Thomas.

With a prose preface (pp. 5-7), subscribed Polex^r: [i.e. Polexander], dedicated To the Excellent Rosania [i.e. Mary Aubrey], eulogising the friendship between her and the deceased Orinda [Katherine Philips] and Rosania's attendance at Orinda's fatal illness, mentioning that the subsequent collection (these clear streams) was bequeathed to Rosania by the poet, noting her reluctance To appear in Print, but adding, I confess, an Edition, now, would gratify her admirers.

The volume — which notably lacks Philips's critical poem on Rosania, On Rosania's Apostacy, and Lucasia's Friendship, probably as an act of discretion by the compiler — appears to be a copy of Katherine Philips's poems transcribed or edited from her papers shortly after her death and presented to Mary Aubrey (1631-1700), wife of William Montagu (1619?-1706), later Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by a mutual friend in accordance with the poet's last wishes.

Owned in 1920 by P.J. and A.E. Dobell.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Rosania MS: PsK Δ 2. Collated, and very occasionally used as copy-text, in Thomas, and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation; some poems also in Hageman (1987). Briefly discussed in Elms; in Mambretti (1977) (where the name Polex^r: is misread as Pole:r and identified as possibly Sir Charles Cottrell); and in C.A. Limbert, Katherine Philips: Another Step-father and Another Sibling, Mrs. C.P., and Polex^r:, Restoration, 13 (1989), 2-6.

Limbert suggests that Polexander might be Sir William Temple, the name perhaps deriving from Marin le Roy de Gomberville's romance Polexandre which Temple's wife, Dorothy Osborne, certainly read, and Temple was also author of a poem on Orinda's death: see William Roberts, Sir William Temple on Orinda. Neglected Publications, PBSA, 57 (19634), 328-36. See also Thomas, II, 177-8, where it is suggested the name may indicate one of Cotterell's colleagues at the Hague.

Hageman and Andrea Sununu, More Copies of it abroad than I could have imagin'd: Further Manuscript Texts of Katherine Philips, the Matchless Orinda, EMS, 5 (1995), 127-69 (pp. 147-50), and, with facsimiles of pp. 5, 7, 274, and the binding, in Peter Beal, In Praise of Scribes (1998), pp. 168-73.

The later additions partly compiled by George Clarke (1661-1736), politician and virtuoso (whose bookplate is inside the cover and whose family coat of arms is on f. [iv]), son of Sir William Clarke (1623?-66), Secretary of War to the Commonwealth and Charles II.

Inside the front cover inscribed E[?] Barrow, evidently a member of the family of Samuel Barrow (1625-82), Royal Physician and friend of John Milton, Barrow being the second husband of Sir William Clarke's widow, Dorothy (d.1695). Formerly MSS 6. 13.

A note on a flyleaf relating to the bookseller John Dunton (1659-1733): John Dunton His Book, for which Mr. Corbet at y^e Addisons Head, accepted One Half Guinea in full Payment for it, as Witness my Hand, Hannah Rakley. A note on f. 1: Since I had transcrib'd this whole Book, I met with some state Poems of these later times, mostly since K. George's Accession to the Crown [1714] which I have here inserted, as a supplement to these state Poems which make a part of this Collection by themselves. Date at the end of the volume: 1718, and some notes on a flyleaf dated 1724.

The M^r. Corbet from whom Dunton purchased this MS was evidently the bookseller Thomas Corbett (fl. 1705-43), who ran his business at the Addison's Head, next to the Rose Tavern, without Temple Bar, from 1719 until his death in 1743. Neither Dunton nor Corbett are known to have used this MS for publication purposes.

Briefly discussed in Elms; in Mambretti (1977) (where the name Polex^r: is misread as Pole:r and identified as possibly Sir Charles Cottrell); and in C.A. Limbert, Katherine Philips: Another Step-father and Another Sibling, Mrs. C.P., and Polex^r:, Restoration, 13 (1989), 2-6.

Limbert suggests that Polexander might be Sir William Temple, the name perhaps deriving from Marin le Roy de Gomberville's romance Polexandre which Temple's wife, Dorothy Osborne, certainly read, and Temple was also author of a poem on Orinda's death: see William Roberts, Sir William Temple on Orinda.

Inside the front cover inscribed E[?] Barrow, evidently a member of the family of Samuel Barrow (1625-82), Royal Physician and friend of John Milton, Barrow being the second husband of Sir William Clarke's widow, Dorothy (d.1695). Formerly MSS 6. 13.

Two of the missing leaves from this volume — originally between the present pp. 88 and 89 and containing yet another poem — have now been identified at the University of Kentucky (see PsK 326).

Thomas (I, 42) reports that this MS passed through the hands of P.J. and A.E. Dobell in 1920, as did NLW MS 776B.

Inscribed (f. 1r) W^m Godolphin Serv^t to M^r Savile and Hen: Savile Serv^t: to M^r Godolphin.

Autograph, with revisions.

Comprising Philips's autograph corrected fair copies of 55 poems and titles only of two other poems, grouped according to subject and genre (and some alternate crowding and blank-spacing in the middle, as well as blocks of entries in different inks, showing a conscious attempt by the poet to preserve such units), with later notes and inscriptions in other hands, the latest poem dated 13 January 1657/8 (p. 125).

Two of the missing leaves from this volume — originally between the present pp. 88 and 89 and containing yet another poem — have now been identified at the University of Kentucky (see PsK 326). It is likely that a missing third leaf at this point would have contained A Dialogue between Lucasia and Orinda (Say, my Orinda, why so sad?): see Hageman & Sununu, EMS, 4 (1993).

Later owned by William Hall (1748-1825), antiquary and bookseller in King's Lynn, Norfolk; in 1824 by Thomas George Kidd (1770-1850), headmaster of King's Lynn School; and c.1904 by John Ramsden Tutin (1855-1913), bookseller of Hull. Thomas (I, 42) reports that this MS passed through the hands of P.J. and A.E. Dobell in 1920, as did NLW MS 776B. However, it is clear from correspondence in the National Library of Wales that the Library acquired the MS directly from Tutin just before his death (which occurred on 13 December 1913).

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Tutin MS: PsK Δ 1. Fifteen poems are edited from this MS in Tutin (1905). A facsimile of p. 55 of the MS appears as the frontispiece to his earlier edition of 1904 (see PsK 372).

This MS used extensively as copy-text in Thomas's edition (1990), and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation. Some poems edited from this MS in Hageman (1987), and a few poems printed from Thomas's edition (as presented earlier in his doctoral dissertation of 1982) in Kissing the Rod. Also briefly discussed in Elms (inaccurately), in Mambretti (1977), and in Lucy Brashear, Gleanings from the Orinda Holograph, AN&Q, 23 (1985), 100-2. For a facsimile of p. 101 (PsK 105), see IELM, II.ii, Facsimile VII, after p. xxi.

Edited from this MS in Tutin (1905), pp. 12-13, and in Thomas.

Copy, headed Inuitation of Rosania to Wales.

With a prose preface (pp. 5-7), subscribed Polex^r: [i.e. Polexander], dedicated To the Excellent Rosania [i.e. Mary Aubrey], eulogising the friendship between her and the deceased Orinda [Katherine Philips] and Rosania's attendance at Orinda's fatal illness, mentioning that the subsequent collection (these clear streams) was bequeathed to Rosania by the poet, noting her reluctance To appear in Print, but adding, I confess, an Edition, now, would gratify her admirers.

The volume — which notably lacks Philips's critical poem on Rosania, On Rosania's Apostacy, and Lucasia's Friendship, probably as an act of discretion by the compiler — appears to be a copy of Katherine Philips's poems transcribed or edited from her papers shortly after her death and presented to Mary Aubrey (1631-1700), wife of William Montagu (1619?-1706), later Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by a mutual friend in accordance with the poet's last wishes.

Owned in 1920 by P.J. and A.E. Dobell.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Rosania MS: PsK Δ 2. Collated, and very occasionally used as copy-text, in Thomas, and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation; some poems also in Hageman (1987). Briefly discussed in Elms; in Mambretti (1977) (where the name Polex^r: is misread as Pole:r and identified as possibly Sir Charles Cottrell); and in C.A. Limbert, Katherine Philips: Another Step-father and Another Sibling, Mrs. C.P., and Polex^r:, Restoration, 13 (1989), 2-6.

Limbert suggests that Polexander might be Sir William Temple, the name perhaps deriving from Marin le Roy de Gomberville's romance Polexandre which Temple's wife, Dorothy Osborne, certainly read, and Temple was also author of a poem on Orinda's death: see William Roberts, Sir William Temple on Orinda. Neglected Publications, PBSA, 57 (19634), 328-36. See also Thomas, II, 177-8, where it is suggested the name may indicate one of Cotterell's colleagues at the Hague.

Copy of sixteen lines, headed Solitude.

Inscribed (p. 211) I ended this book Nov^r. 13^th 1723.

Autograph.

Comprising Philips's autograph corrected fair copies of 55 poems and titles only of two other poems, grouped according to subject and genre (and some alternate crowding and blank-spacing in the middle, as well as blocks of entries in different inks, showing a conscious attempt by the poet to preserve such units), with later notes and inscriptions in other hands, the latest poem dated 13 January 1657/8 (p. 125).

Two of the missing leaves from this volume — originally between the present pp. 88 and 89 and containing yet another poem — have now been identified at the University of Kentucky (see PsK 326). It is likely that a missing third leaf at this point would have contained A Dialogue between Lucasia and Orinda (Say, my Orinda, why so sad?): see Hageman & Sununu, EMS, 4 (1993).

Later owned by William Hall (1748-1825), antiquary and bookseller in King's Lynn, Norfolk; in 1824 by Thomas George Kidd (1770-1850), headmaster of King's Lynn School; and c.1904 by John Ramsden Tutin (1855-1913), bookseller of Hull. Thomas (I, 42) reports that this MS passed through the hands of P.J. and A.E. Dobell in 1920, as did NLW MS 776B. However, it is clear from correspondence in the National Library of Wales that the Library acquired the MS directly from Tutin just before his death (which occurred on 13 December 1913).

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Tutin MS: PsK Δ 1. Fifteen poems are edited from this MS in Tutin (1905). A facsimile of p. 55 of the MS appears as the frontispiece to his earlier edition of 1904 (see PsK 372).

This MS used extensively as copy-text in Thomas's edition (1990), and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation. Some poems edited from this MS in Hageman (1987), and a few poems printed from Thomas's edition (as presented earlier in his doctoral dissertation of 1982) in Kissing the Rod. Also briefly discussed in Elms (inaccurately), in Mambretti (1977), and in Lucy Brashear, Gleanings from the Orinda Holograph, AN&Q, 23 (1985), 100-2. For a facsimile of p. 101 (PsK 105), see IELM, II.ii, Facsimile VII, after p. xxi.

Edited from this MS in Thomas.

With a prose preface (pp. 5-7), subscribed Polex^r: [i.e. Polexander], dedicated To the Excellent Rosania [i.e. Mary Aubrey], eulogising the friendship between her and the deceased Orinda [Katherine Philips] and Rosania's attendance at Orinda's fatal illness, mentioning that the subsequent collection (these clear streams) was bequeathed to Rosania by the poet, noting her reluctance To appear in Print, but adding, I confess, an Edition, now, would gratify her admirers.

The volume — which notably lacks Philips's critical poem on Rosania, On Rosania's Apostacy, and Lucasia's Friendship, probably as an act of discretion by the compiler — appears to be a copy of Katherine Philips's poems transcribed or edited from her papers shortly after her death and presented to Mary Aubrey (1631-1700), wife of William Montagu (1619?-1706), later Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by a mutual friend in accordance with the poet's last wishes.

Owned in 1920 by P.J. and A.E. Dobell.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Rosania MS: PsK Δ 2. Collated, and very occasionally used as copy-text, in Thomas, and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation; some poems also in Hageman (1987). Briefly discussed in Elms; in Mambretti (1977) (where the name Polex^r: is misread as Pole:r and identified as possibly Sir Charles Cottrell); and in C.A. Limbert, Katherine Philips: Another Step-father and Another Sibling, Mrs. C.P., and Polex^r:, Restoration, 13 (1989), 2-6.

Limbert suggests that Polexander might be Sir William Temple, the name perhaps deriving from Marin le Roy de Gomberville's romance Polexandre which Temple's wife, Dorothy Osborne, certainly read, and Temple was also author of a poem on Orinda's death: see William Roberts, Sir William Temple on Orinda. Neglected Publications, PBSA, 57 (19634), 328-36. See also Thomas, II, 177-8, where it is suggested the name may indicate one of Cotterell's colleagues at the Hague.

Hageman and Andrea Sununu, More Copies of it abroad than I could have imagin'd: Further Manuscript Texts of Katherine Philips, the Matchless Orinda, EMS, 5 (1995), 127-69 (pp. 147-50), and, with facsimiles of pp. 5, 7, 274, and the binding, in Peter Beal, In Praise of Scribes (1998), pp. 168-73.

Copy, headed Ode upon Retirement.

With a prose preface (pp. 5-7), subscribed Polex^r: [i.e. Polexander], dedicated To the Excellent Rosania [i.e. Mary Aubrey], eulogising the friendship between her and the deceased Orinda [Katherine Philips] and Rosania's attendance at Orinda's fatal illness, mentioning that the subsequent collection (these clear streams) was bequeathed to Rosania by the poet, noting her reluctance To appear in Print, but adding, I confess, an Edition, now, would gratify her admirers.

The volume — which notably lacks Philips's critical poem on Rosania, On Rosania's Apostacy, and Lucasia's Friendship, probably as an act of discretion by the compiler — appears to be a copy of Katherine Philips's poems transcribed or edited from her papers shortly after her death and presented to Mary Aubrey (1631-1700), wife of William Montagu (1619?-1706), later Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by a mutual friend in accordance with the poet's last wishes.

Edited from this MS in Thomas.

Autograph, imperfect.

Comprising Philips's autograph corrected fair copies of 55 poems and titles only of two other poems, grouped according to subject and genre (and some alternate crowding and blank-spacing in the middle, as well as blocks of entries in different inks, showing a conscious attempt by the poet to preserve such units), with later notes and inscriptions in other hands, the latest poem dated 13 January 1657/8 (p. 125).

Two of the missing leaves from this volume — originally between the present pp. 88 and 89 and containing yet another poem — have now been identified at the University of Kentucky (see PsK 326). It is likely that a missing third leaf at this point would have contained A Dialogue between Lucasia and Orinda (Say, my Orinda, why so sad?): see Hageman & Sununu, EMS, 4 (1993).

Later owned by William Hall (1748-1825), antiquary and bookseller in King's Lynn, Norfolk; in 1824 by Thomas George Kidd (1770-1850), headmaster of King's Lynn School; and c.1904 by John Ramsden Tutin (1855-1913), bookseller of Hull. Thomas (I, 42) reports that this MS passed through the hands of P.J. and A.E. Dobell in 1920, as did NLW MS 776B. However, it is clear from correspondence in the National Library of Wales that the Library acquired the MS directly from Tutin just before his death (which occurred on 13 December 1913).

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Tutin MS: PsK Δ 1. Fifteen poems are edited from this MS in Tutin (1905). A facsimile of p. 55 of the MS appears as the frontispiece to his earlier edition of 1904 (see PsK 372).

This MS used extensively as copy-text in Thomas's edition (1990), and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation. Some poems edited from this MS in Hageman (1987), and a few poems printed from Thomas's edition (as presented earlier in his doctoral dissertation of 1982) in Kissing the Rod.

A note on a flyleaf relating to the bookseller John Dunton (1659-1733): John Dunton His Book, for which Mr. Corbet at y^e Addisons Head, accepted One Half Guinea in full Payment for it, as Witness my Hand, Hannah Rakley. A note on f. 1: Since I had transcrib'd this whole Book, I met with some state Poems of these later times, mostly since K. George's Accession to the Crown [1714] which I have here inserted, as a supplement to these state Poems which make a part of this Collection by themselves. Date at the end of the volume: 1718, and some notes on a flyleaf dated 1724.

The M^r. Corbet from whom Dunton purchased this MS was evidently the bookseller Thomas Corbett (fl. 1705-43), who ran his business at the Addison's Head, next to the Rose Tavern, without Temple Bar, from 1719 until his death in 1743. Neither Dunton nor Corbett are known to have used this MS for publication purposes.

This MS used extensively as copy-text in Thomas's edition (1990), and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation. Some poems edited from this MS in Hageman (1987), and a few poems printed from Thomas's edition (as presented earlier in his doctoral dissertation of 1982) in Kissing the Rod. Also briefly discussed in Elms (inaccurately), in Mambretti (1977), and in Lucy Brashear, Gleanings from the Orinda Holograph, AN&Q, 23 (1985), 100-2. For a facsimile of p. 101 (PsK 105), see IELM, II.ii, Facsimile VII, after p. xxi.

Edited from this MS in Thomas.

Copy, headed The Excellent Palaemon.

With a prose preface (pp. 5-7), subscribed Polex^r: [i.e. Polexander], dedicated To the Excellent Rosania [i.e. Mary Aubrey], eulogising the friendship between her and the deceased Orinda [Katherine Philips] and Rosania's attendance at Orinda's fatal illness, mentioning that the subsequent collection (these clear streams) was bequeathed to Rosania by the poet, noting her reluctance To appear in Print, but adding, I confess, an Edition, now, would gratify her admirers.

The volume — which notably lacks Philips's critical poem on Rosania, On Rosania's Apostacy, and Lucasia's Friendship, probably as an act of discretion by the compiler — appears to be a copy of Katherine Philips's poems transcribed or edited from her papers shortly after her death and presented to Mary Aubrey (1631-1700), wife of William Montagu (1619?-1706), later Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by a mutual friend in accordance with the poet's last wishes.

Owned in 1920 by P.J. and A.E. Dobell.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993), as the Rosania MS: PsK Δ 2. Collated, and very occasionally used as copy-text, in Thomas, and also in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation; some poems also in Hageman (1987). Briefly discussed in Elms; in Mambretti (1977) (where the name Polex^r: is misread as Pole:r and identified as possibly Sir Charles Cottrell); and in C.A. Limbert, Katherine Philips: Another Step-father and Another Sibling, Mrs. C.P., and Polex^r:, Restoration, 13 (1989), 2-6.

Limbert suggests that Polexander might be Sir William Temple, the name perhaps deriving from Marin le Roy de Gomberville's romance Polexandre which Temple's wife, Dorothy Osborne, certainly read, and Temple was also author of a poem on Orinda's death: see William Roberts, Sir William Temple on Orinda. Neglected Publications, PBSA, 57 (19634), 328-36. See also Thomas, II, 177-8, where it is suggested the name may indicate one of Cotterell's colleagues at the Hague.

Hageman and Andrea Sununu, More Copies of it abroad than I could have imagin'd: Further Manuscript Texts of Katherine Philips, the Matchless Orinda, EMS, 5 (1995), 127-69 (pp. 147-50), and, with facsimiles of pp. 5, 7, 274, and the binding, in Peter Beal, In Praise of Scribes (1998), pp. 168-73.

The later additions partly compiled by George Clarke (1661-1736), politician and virtuoso (whose bookplate is inside the cover and whose family coat of arms is on f. [iv]), son of Sir William Clarke (1623?-66), Secretary of War to the Commonwealth and Charles II.

Inside the front cover inscribed E[?] Barrow, evidently a member of the family of Samuel Barrow (1625-82), Royal Physician and friend of John Milton, Barrow being the second husband of Sir William Clarke's widow, Dorothy (d.1695). Formerly MSS 6. 13.

Compiled by Nicholas Crouch (c.1618-90), bursar of Balliol College and notary.

This MS collated in Thomas, where it is suggested (I, 46) that Crouch's source was probably Francis Finch (Palaemon), who was for a time a gentleman commoner of Balliol. Also collated in Mambretti's 1979 dissertation and recorded in Sant & Brown.

Copy, subscribed M^rs. Philips.

Edited from this MS in Mambretti and in Thomas.

Autograph of the first two stanzas, with blanks left for stanzas 3 and 4, headed on y^e death of my first & dearest child, Hector Philipps borne y^e 23^d of Aprill & dy'd the 2^d of May 1655. set by M^r Lawes.

Comprising Philips's autograph corrected fair copies of 55 poems and titles only of two other poems, grouped according to subject and genre (and some alternate crowding and blank-spacing in the middle, as well as blocks of entries in different inks, showing a conscious attempt by the poet to preserve such units), with later notes and inscriptions in other hands, the latest poem dated 13 January 1657/8 (p. 125).

Two of the missing leaves from this volume — originally between the present pp. 88 and 89 and containing yet another poem — have now been identified at the University of Kentucky (see PsK 326). It is likely that a missing third leaf at this point would have contained A Dialogue between Lucasia and Orinda (Say, my Orinda, why so sad?): see Hageman & Sununu, EMS, 4 (1993).

Later owned by William Hall (1748-1825), antiquary and bookseller in King's Lynn, Norfolk; in 1824 by Thomas George Kidd (1770-1850), headmaster of King's Lynn School; and c.1904 by John Ramsden Tutin (1855-1913), bookseller of Hull. Thomas (I, 42) reports that this MS passed through the hands of P.J. and A.E. Dobell in 1920, as did NLW MS 776B. However, it is clear from correspondence in the National Library of Wales that the Library acquired the MS directly from Tutin just before his death (which occurred on 13 December 1913).
