Add MS 78330

EVELYN PAPERS. Vol. CLXIII. 'Tomus Tertius'; [aft.1649?]. In fact this volume was originally the first of the series to be compiled. The first pages of each of the sections described below are in the hand of Richard Hoare. At this stage Evelyn conceived of a subject arrangement for his commonplace notes, the original four sections or 'tomes' of this volume corresponding roughly to the divisions of theology, science, arts and law, further subdivided by 'chapters'. Subject terms in Latin were later added in the margins. Having filled the present volume, Evelyn adopted the method in the two subsequent volumes (Add. MSS 78328 amd 78329 above) of entering notes from all his reading into one sequence, adding subject terms in the margin. The present volume was then made the third in the series; 'tome primus' has been altered to 'tome tertius' on the first page (even though 'tome' originally referred to the internal sub-divisions of the volume, not to the volume number). Some 'chapter' headings have also been altered by pasting over new titles. The original pagination of the volume in sections, which do not run in a continuous sequence (of which details are given below), also indicates some rearrangement of the material before binding. In addition some leaves have been excised, leaving only stubs on to which new leaves were then pasted. On the evidence of the original ink pagination, some of the leaves in the present volume were originally part of what is now Add. MS 78328 above, but rebacking, during which the individual disjunct leaves have been mounted on modern guards, may have obscured the full extent of this rearrangement. The volume was later repaginated in one sequence by Evelyn in pencil from p. 7 onwards to provide a means of reference for the index volume; see his note on f. 1: 'note that the black lead figures of the pages agree onely with The Universall Table of all the Three Tomes [i.e., Add. MS 78331]’. One leaf from this volume, paginated 434-435 and headed 'Cap. IIII Metaphysica', was removed by William Upcott and is now Add. MS 15950, f. 125. Formerly Evelyn MS 54/1.

ff. 182. Undecorated binding of dark brown leather, not matching the two succeeding volumes, with the holes for ties on each edge and modern rebacking. The non-sequential pagination suggests that the notes were entered first on loose quires, then assembled for binding. 430 x 300mm.
