Arrangement (Information about the filing sequence or logical order of the record)
-
This catalogue is based on and follows the arrangement of that prepared by the Folger Shakespeare Library although section numbers have been added to facilitate cross referencing between the Folger holdings and the main body of Loseley manuscripts held at Surrey History Centre. Items have been arranged under the various members of the More family, the papers of an official nature separated from those of a more personal nature, and each divided into several categories which have been arranged chronologically. The papers of Sir Thomas Cawarden, including most of the manuscripts which refer in any way to the Blackfriars estate even when the Mores become owners of the property in succession to Cawarden, have been placed at the end. The location of any transcriptions or reproductions of particular manuscripts is noted when applicable.
