Résumé : CCCC MS 580 is now divided into three distinct volumes, A, B and C, each containing tabulated copies of the returns of one of the three dioceses of Canterbury, Ely and Bedfordshire sent in answer to Parker's request for information concerning incumbents sent out in 1560 and 1561. They were once part of the similar returns material found in CCCC MS 97 and 122 but had at some stage been removed to the college's modern archives before being returned to the Parker collection in 1959.

21r-31v - Parker Certificates (Canterbury) (Missing leaves from CCCC MSS 97 and 122)
Note : So-called Parker Certificates: tabulated copies of the returns from the diocese of Canterbury. These returns give details of each incumbent and were sent in answer to Parker's requests of 1560 and 1561 (see J. Bruce and T. T. Perowne, Correspondence of Matthew Parker, 1853, xci and cxi).

Provenance

Transferred from the College Archives in December 1959. They are part of the hitherto missing portion of the collections of returns in Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, MSS. 97 and 122 (see James, Catalogue of MSS.).
