The John Bargrave Collection
John Evelyn (1620 - 1706)
Diarist, polymath, and a minor collector.Writing retrospectively about his first week as a student at Balliol College, he remembers "visiting several rarities of the University, which do very much affect young comers," although, he says, "I do not find any memoranda's of what I saw" (vol. 2, p. 20). His first recorded visit to the Anatomy School collection at Oxford was with his wife, Mary, on 12 July 1654. Evelyn visited this collection again on 24 Oct 1664, when the foundation of the Sheldonian Theatre were being laid.
