Summary

This list is based on Emden, Cambridge; detailed references to sources are given only for Rotherham and his successors. I ignore the details given in VCH Cambs, III, 331–3, based on The Historical Register of the University of Cambridge, ed. J. R. Tanner (Cambridge, 1917), which in its turn owed much ultimately to lists by John Caius and in British Library Cotton MS Faustina C. iii, fos. 81–102 (79–100) – from 289 to 1598, continued to 1605 – printed in R. Parker, The History and Antiquities of the University of Cambridge (London, n.d.), pp. 18-99, as of no critical value. The abbreviation occ. is used for ‘occurs’.
