File 17 - 'Trinity College Lecture Room': passages for translation into Latin and Greek

84 single sheets, printed; 1 envelope.

The envelope preserved with the printed sheets is labelled 'ASFG', and elsewhere 'A. F. Scholfield ac | Composition Papers given me by A. S. F. Gow'; this suggests that either these papers in their entirety were passed at some point from Scholfield to Hall, or that two groups of composition papers have been combined (which may be supported by the lesser quantity of spotting on the latter, undated, papers).

Previously numbered as being 'with' Add. MS a 292/1, but there appears to be no connection between them.

Received from John James Hall, Mar. 1984.

Passages for translation into Latin or Greek prose and verse include extracts from works by Shelley, Sir John Maundeville, Shakespeare, Byron, Keats, Emerson, Swinburne, Burke, Richard Hooker, Bentley, Browning, Poe, Junius, Fletcher, Coleridge, Milton, Francis Bacon, [Tennyson], Chaucer, J. L. Motley, Crabbe, Sir Thomas Browne, Bunyan, Marlowe, J. E. Flecker, Wordsworth, Yeats, the Earl of Oxford, and T. E. Laurence.

Model translations into English for most passages signed with initials; pencil annotations identify the authors (predominantly classical Fellows of Trinity).
