Additional Description
Ellerton and Clements independently published a catalog of their cyphering book collection, Cyphering Books Prepared in the North American Colonies (but not Canada), or in the United States of America, 1667-1907: An Interpretive Reference Catalogue (Perth, Australia: Meridian Press, 2021). This volume contains detailed descriptions of each cyphering manuscript. The catalog also includes introductory essays by Ellerton and Clements describing the collection and the cyphering tradition of mathematics education. A physical copy of this volume arrived at the Library with the Ellerton-Clements collection of cyphering books, and is available for consultation in the Manuscript Reading Room. A digital copy (PDF) is available on-site in the Manuscript Reading Room. Consult reference staff for more information.
Printed copies of individual catalog pages describing the numbered cyphering books are included with the respective manuscripts in the collection, as received.
