Three manuscripts bound together: 1) Accounts of receipts for 1556, ending with receipts for Fleet Street property (London), in English, in the same hand and arrangement as the start of ACC 1/1 (3 ff). 2) Statutes of Nicholas West, Bishop of Ely (1516-32), in Latin, in their original form [of 1517] with exequies for the Founder and principal benefactors, but with alterations made in 1549 and 1570 marked in at least two hands (15 ff). 3) Statutes of James Stanley, Bishop of Ely (1506-15), in a 16th century hand but with marginal notes in several hands of 16th and possibly 17th century dates (7 ff.). The last leaf has two Latin phrases, a list of four names with tallies against them, and the phrase "farewell farewell".

Contains: a table of contents; a copy of Bishop West's Statutes [of 1517], as revised by the Royal Visitors of 1549-50, with a new statute added by the Visitors of 1559-60 (at fol. 14 verso, with Visitors' signatures); and the interpretation of the Statute "De Numero Sociorum" by King Charles I, 1635. West's statutes are written in a 16th century hand, with an elaborate capital at fol. 1. There are a few marginal notes in a 17th century hand. The added statute is signed at the foot by five of the Visitors: William Byll., Walter Haddon, William Mey, Robert Horn and Ja. Pilkinton. It is followed (fol. 15 recto) by the notarial mark and statement of Anthony Harison certifying the document as a true copy. The copied royal letter of 1635 is similarly marked by John Scott, notary and registrar of the University.

Copy of Bishop West's statutes after the 1549 revision and with the Elizabethan extra statute, in an early 17th century formal hand with marginal notes by Roger Andrewes (Master 1618-32). The signatures at f.123 are also copies and have been annotated in another hand, probably Andrewes'. The preliminary leaves have notes in Latin about the geographical origins of Fellows, an index to the statutes, and notes about Fellows elected "in my predecessors tyme", which phrase indicates that this is Roger Andrewes' hand. The later part of the volume has a copy of the interpretation of the Statute "De Numero Sociorum" by King Charles I, 1635, and copies of letters and other documents concerning appointments to and tenure of fellowships, 1614-1638. The last leaf has rough notes by Andrewes similar to those at the start of the volume. A Christmas reading from the Gospel of St Matthew ch.1 appears loose at fol. 95, apparently used as a bookmark.

The first of two preliminary folios has been mostly cut out. The second bears some Latin notes, including a transcript of Bishop John Alcock's declaration of 17 March 1489 concerning doubts raised at the college of Saint Peter, Cambridge (about the making of decrees by the Master and Dean of that college). A contents list of statute headings follows, verso. The Statutes (of Bishop Nicholas West) are written in an italic hand with a few later annotations and markings; they are followed by the Statute added by the Royal Visitors of 1559-60, substantially erased and rewritten because of the wish to start a new page. At the back of the book are: the oath to be taken by a Fellow-commoner; the oath required on admission of a Fellow, the oath required on the admission of a Commoner; and a note in Dr French's hand (in English) about a new statute removing the restrictions imposed by the old statute "De numero sociorum" ["Of the number of fellows"], made on 7 January 1828 and to come into force within 5 years.

Title added by Arthur Gray: "Historia Collegii Jesu / Statutes of the Rustat Foundation". Title on the back cover: "Statutorum Coll. Jesu". The contents are written in a 17th century mixed hand, almost certainly that of Edmund Boldero, in black ink with headings in red. They consist of: Bishop West's statutes; the statute added by the Visitors of 1559-60; Charles I's interpretation of the statute "De Numero Sociorum" ["Of the number of fellows"]; statutes of the Rustat Foundation, 1671, a copy of an Indenture relating to the Foundation's endowments, and the confirmation of the Rustat statutes by Charles II, 1672; and a copy of Sherman's History of the college, out of order in such a way that notes about several members of the Beaumont family, a list of masters to 3 Apr. 1666 and their biographical details, precede the rest of the contents. An unused page contains various signatures and scribblings of a later date (some apparently 1690s). At the back of the book are an incomplete copy of "The King's graunt for the foundation of the Free schole at Macclesfeild" [the King being Edward VI], in Latin, in the same 17th century hand [Edmund Boldero], and a 2p. draft of a Latin oration, in a clumsier [juvenile?] hand.

Contains copies of: John Sherman's history of the college, 'Aborigines Jesuani', in a late 17th century mixed hand, the latest date in this original hand being 1681, but the lists of personnel being carried on in other hands up to 1717; the statutes of Bishop West, in a late 17th or 18th century hand, with underlining and annotations including some restoring clauses omitted or recast by the Visitors of 1549-50; the statute added by the Visitors; Charles I's interpretation of the statute 'De Numero Sociorum' (at p. 161), 1635; the statute 'De Preceptore Gram. Et ejus Hostiario' (at p. 163); papers concerning the election of Charles Proby to a fellowship, July 1692; the preamble to Bishop West's statutes (p. 173) with marginal notes correcting the text to agree with that of STA 1/1; the statutes of Bishop James Stanley (1514), with similar marginal notes; account of receipts for the year 1556 (at p. 203, copied from STA 1/1); an account of the lapse of two fellowships to L. Andrews, then Bishop of Ely, with his interpretation of some doubts in the college statutes (1614); an interpretation of the statute 'De Numero Sociorum', 1634; an interpretation 'De Senioritate, et majore parte Sociorum', 3 Jan 1637/8; a case heard before the Bishop's Vicar-General on 11 June 1638; and Dr Boldero's letter to Bishop [Matthew] Wren about John North's election to a fellowship, 1 Feb. 1666/7 (p. 238). Printed facsimiles entitled 'The Earliest Statutes of Jesus College, Cambridge, 1514-1515' are of Bishop Stanley's statutes [edited by Arthur Gray], printed for the Master and Fellows by W. Heffer & Sons Ltd, Cambridge. The volumes also include an English translation of the statutes, a note on Bishop Stanley's statutes and other codes of the 16th century, notes on particular statutes and a transcription (in Latin) of the first part of the Royal Licence for the foundation of Jesus College. The only difference between the two volumes lies in the binding.

A copy of Bishop West's statutes written by Benjamin Newton, in a fine 18th century hand, with later notes by Dr Lynford Caryl and (in pencil) Dr Pearce. A dedicatory note states that Newton made this copy of the Statutes for the Master. The statutes conclude with the 1559 added statute, followed by a copy of the interpretation of the Statute "De Numero Sociorum" by King Charles I, 1635, and copies of letters and other documents concerning appointments to and tenure of fellowships, 1614-1638 (as in STA 1/3). There follow lists of counties, northern and southern, and finally a note by Dr Pearce about a difference between the Master and five Fellows over the election of two Fellows, 29 July 1791, with the Bishop of Ely's reply.
