  • Résumé : CCCC MS 210 contains the unique copy of William Worcester's Itineraria. William Worcester (1415-1480/85), a servant of Sir John Fastolf, wrote the Itineraria in note form during a series of journeys he undertook throughout southern and western England between 1478 and 1480, and the manuscript must date from this period. The text's eclectic mixture of local history, biography and geography reflect a lively and curious mind. How this manuscript came into Parker's possession is unknown, and it has been suggested that the codex was another bequest to the college by Henry Aldrich (Fellow 1569-79, d. 1593) (see CCCC MS 208). However, the presence of Parker's characteristic red chalk in the volume and the existence of a partial transcript of the text in CCCC MS 101 must refute that claim. Instead, it is probable that Parker acquired the manuscript shortly before his death, after the composition of his Register, CCCC MS 575, which contains no reference to this manuscript.

    1-334 - William Worcester, Itineraria || Itinerarium sive liber rerum memorabilium Willelmi [Bottoner] de Worcestre

    Note : Hic codex charactere valde difformi exaratur, et interlineationibus ubique scatet ita ut videatur fuisse autographum autoris in itineribus suis compilatum: occidentals et orientales partes hums regni saepe visitavit, ecclesias et monasteria descripsit seu potius mensuravit, nihil enim notavit praeter longitudines et latitudines quas per gressus suos computavit, et ex obituariis et chronicis quaedam excerpsit : diligentiam facile laudares, judicium ubique desiderares; primus tamen fuit, qui Angliam perlustrare aggressus est, et si maximas laudes assecutus sit Lelandus vestigiis ejus feliciore gradu insistens, nonnullae ipsi Bottonero debentur, qui viam ei monstravit

    Note : [Nasmith gives references to the pages of the partial transcript of this Itinerary which is in MS 101, art. 31. I omit these, but give instead references to the pages of Nasmith's printed edition. I also mark with an asterisk those items which Nasmith has omitted]

  • The pages are numbered in red chalk, as if by Parker. Like MS 205 the book is noticed by T. James (just before 1600) but does not occur in Parker's list.There is a partial transcript in MS 101. 31. From the existence of this we may conclude that the book was known to Parker: very probably he acquired it late in life.

  • Research: The text was edited (with some omissions) by Nasmith in 1778 (Itinerarium Symonis Simeonis et Will. de Worcestre, etc.). See also Willis, Architectural Nomenclature of the Middle Ages, Camb. Ant. Soc. 4to 1844, where a facsimile of a portion of text is given.
  • Research: In 1751 it was examined by Blomefield.
  • Research: Other note-books of William Botoner are Cotton Julius F. vii, Sloane 4 (medical), Arundel 48 at Coll. of Arms (ed. by Hearne): cf. also Lambeth 506. He owned various MSS. now at Oxford: Balliol 124, New Coll. 162, Magd. 26, 65, 198. Laud. Misc. 674 was in part written by him. See Dictionary of National Biography s.v. Worcester.
