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).
Geschiedenis van het archief
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. Many of the prints reveal the excisions made by razor or scissors, a few are annotated by Nicholas, and more by his brother John. John Ferrar's annotations consist chiefly of numerical annotations, referring to the print's corresponding chapter in the Harmony of the Gospels, or alternatively if the print was one of a series.
