Harvard University, MS Eng 966.5

MS Eng 966.5

A quarto volume of 169 poems by Donne, plus some prose works by him, together with a few poems by others, almost entirely in a single hand, with a table of contents, viiii + ‘440’ pages (plus blanks, the pagination jumping from 156 to 161 and from 339 to 400), with an alphabetical first-line index (pp. [iii-vi]), in modern calf. Mainly transcribed from Cambridge University Library MS Add. 8468 (the ‘Luttrell MS’: DnJ Δ 18), with a title-page (p. i) inscribed ‘The Poems of D.J. Donne (not yet imprinted)...finished this 12 of October 1632’. It bears corrections in two hands (one possibly the original scribe) made from the 1633 edition of Donne's Poems, many of the poems headed ‘P.’ (signifying ‘Printed’), with some annotated in red ink ‘Not Printed’. The largest known MS collection of Donne's poems and apparently used in the preparation of the second edition of the Poems (1635). [1635].

According to the compiler of the partial transcript of this MS (Harvard MS Eng 966.2), the O'Flahertie MS belonged to ‘the late Dr Parnel, Arch Deacon of Clogher’: i.e. Thomas Parnell (1679-1718), poet and essayist, ‘and after his decease to Mr. Thos: Burton of Dublin, and [was] obtained from him by the Editor.’ Sold at Puttick & Simpson's, 28 April 1856 (Francis Moore sale), lot 975. Later owned by the Rev. T.R. O'Flahertie (fl.1861-94), vicar of Capel, near Dorking, Surrey, book collector. Sotheby's, 25-27 July 1899, lot 384, to Ellis. Described in Ellis and Elvey's sale catalogue No. 93 (November 1899), the relevant pages of which are inserted in the MS. Formerly MS Nor 4504.

Cited in IELM, I.i (1980) as the ‘O'Flahertie MS’: DnJ Δ 17.
