William OUTRAM 1626-1679

Biographical Note

Born near Chesterfield, Derbyshire, son of Robert Outram. BA Trinity College, Cambridge 1645, MA 1649, DD 1660; fellow of Christ’s College, Cambridge 1648-57. Rector of Navenby, Lincolnshire 1656-59, rector of St Mary Woolnoth, London 1659-66, rector of St Margaret’s, Westminster and chaplain to Charles II 1664, archdeacon of Leicester 1669, prebendary of Westminster 1670. He was noted as a scholar, with a particular knowledge of Hebrew, which was evident from his De sacrifciis libri duo (1677). A number of his sermons were published posthumously.

Books

Outram’s library was sold by auction in London by William Cooper, along with that of Thomas and Charles Gataker 12 December 1681. The catalogue does not distinguish which books came from which source; it contained 2524 lots, plus 36 bundles of stitched books and pamphlets, divided between Latin theology (625), Latin miscellaneous (885), Hebrew books (presumably Outram’s, 38), and English books (976).

Characteristic Markings

None of Outram’s books have been identified.
