• A1-A11 - Private notebooks on theology and philosophy
• A12-17 Lectures on Theology
• A18-22 - Private Notebooks on Thucydides
• A23-25 - Lectures on Thucydides

Group I

Class A - Notebooks of BJ

Class I A consists of the contents of Faber's 'Box A'. These all came from BJ's own papers, and are made up almost entirely of quarto notebooks, used for either lectures or private notes.

Many of the books have had titles written on them in an unknown hand. It is probably, but not certainly, Matthew Knight's.

The notebooks for I A and I B have been arranged according to their subjects, and then divided into private notebooks and lecture notebooks. I A is arranged as follows:

A1-17: Notes on theology and modern philosophy.

A18-25: Notes on Thucydides.

A26-7: Notes on other Greek historians.

A28: Notes on philology.

A29-35: Notes on Greek philosophy.

A1-A11 - Private notebooks on theology and philosophy

A1

Quarto NB, with limp fawn cardboard covers with black leather cloth spine, titled [in Matthew Knight's hand?] Miscellanea 40-50. 39 leaves. Pages unlined. Pencil.

The 40-50 of the title almost certainly refers to the date, as BJ's writing in this NB is very close to that in his letters of the 1840s.

Quarto NB, stiff green-black cloth cover titled [in Matthew Knight's hand?] Miscellanea 49-50. 142 leaves, some blank. Pages unlined. Pencil.

Quarto NB, stiff maroon leather cloth cover, with fancy pattern, titled [in Matthew Knight's hand?] Theology - Gospels and Acts 49-50. 81 leaves, many blank. Pages lined. Pencil with some ink.

The title dates the NB to 1849-1850, and BJ's hand supports this date.

Quarto NB, soft black leather cloth cover with gold lines on edge and spine. No title or label, but first page begins α. Chronology of Life and Epistles of St. Paul. 147 pages*, but pp.4-55 have been torn out and are now missing, and several of the remainder are blank. Pages unlined. Mostly ink, some pencil.

The NB is undated, but BJ's hand suggests c.1850, when he was at work on his commentary on St. Paul's Epistles.

This notebook has been digitised; images available on request.

• [List of titles (of essays?) on St. Paul, each one prefaced by a Greek letter] 1

A9

Quarto NB, limp maroon morocco leather cover, titled [in Matthew Knight's hand?] Early Notes on the atonement, about 1853. The edges of the cover have become slightly frayed. 76 leaves, many blank. Pages unlined. Ink (black and blue) and pencil almost equally.

There is no indication of date for this NB except Matthew Knight(?)'s guess on the cover. Since almost all the NB consists of notes on the atonement, which was the subject of an essay in BJ's commentary on St. Paul, it is reasonable to assume that it was written before 1854, which BJ's hand would support.

• Notes for an essay on the Doctrine of the Atonement [probably a very early draft for BJ's essay on the atonement in his commentary on St. Paul] 1-16
• The Figure of Speech [title only] 39v

A10

Quarto NB, stiff blue cloth cover with red leather cloth spine, titled on spine [in unknown hand] Miscell. Theol.. 182 pages*. Pages unlined. Mostly pencil, but some blue crayon and ink.

Half this notebook was used by inverting it, and starting at p.182 and working back to p.82. Therefore after p.81 the index will resume at p.182 and work in reverse order.

The NB is undated, but the manner in which religious questions are discussed, and BJ's hand, suggests the 1860s.
