História biográfica
The Ferrar family involved in the creation of the Ferrar Papers at Magdalene College Cambridge span from Nicholas Ferrar (1544-1620) to Martha Peckard, née Ferrar (1729-1805).
História do arquivo
From 1613 to 1617 Nicholas Ferrar was travelling and studying in Europe, and while he was abroad he bought many religious prints which make up this collection. At Little Gidding in the 1630s his nieces used them to illustrate 'Harmonies of the Gospels', the blending together of the four gospels into a single narrative illustrated with a collage of prints.
Some of the prints post-date this period of collection, and must have been acquired by more junior members of the Ferrar family.
These prints in the Ferrar collection were bound into an album in 1910 at Magdalene College. The Pepys Librarian at that time, Stephen Gaselee, thought (erroneously) that the prints were part of the Pepys Library collection. The album has a similar appearance to the Pepys Library albums of prints, and was presented by Professor George Nuttall (College Order Book, May 23, 1910). The album was erroneously given a Pepys Library-type shelfmark by Derek Pepys-Whiteley in c.1963 (PL 2986 pt. iii) but is not associated with the Pepys Library, and is housed in the Old Library alongside the loose Ferrar Prints.
