'Grace books' were the volumes in which scribes recorded decisions
of the administration of the University of Cambridge during the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Many of the 'graces' concern the
conferral of degrees on individuals, but others refer to more
general University business including appointment of teachers and
preachers, leaves of absence, inventories and financial records,
and the resolution of disputes. The manuscript of Grace Book D
covers the years from 1542 to 1589 in its first 160 pages, which
are transcribed here. This edition was first published in 1910,
with an introduction by John Venn, who points out that during the
later sixteenth century many constitutional elements of the
university took shape which persisted until the Victorian reforms.
The documents in this volume constitute a valuable resource for
those researching British history and institutions in the later
Tudor period.
