Anthony Wood
Anthony Wood was an English antiquary.
Education
He was sent to New College school in 1641, and at the age of twalve was removed to the free grammar school at Thame, where his studies were interrupted by civil war skirmishes.
He was then placed under the tuition of his brother Edward (1627 - 1655), of Trinity College; and, as he tells us, "while he continued in this condition his mother would alwaies be soliciting him to be an apprentice which he could never endure to heare of. " He was entered at Merton College in 1647, and made postmaster.
He received the MA degree in 1655, and in the following year published a volume of sermons by his late brother Edward.
Career
In 1652 he amused himself with ploughing and bell-ringing.
In the Life he speaks of himself and his family as Wood or к Wood, the last form being a pedantic return to old usage adopted by himself. A pedigree is given in Clark's edition.
Achievements
-
Wood bequeathed his library (127 manuscripts and 970 printed books) to the Ashmolean Museum, and the keeper, William Huddesford, printed a catalogue of the manuscripts in 1761. In 1858 the whole collection was transferred to the Bodleian, where 25 volumes of Wood's manuscripts had been since 1690. Many of the original papers from which the Athenae was written, as well as several large volumes of Wood's correspondence and all his diaries, are preserved in the Bodleian.
