One of the earliest volumes of the Utrecht students' almanac, and the first to be edited by the students themselves. The almanac was published annually from 1823 until 1996. From 1882 onwards, the almanac was a report of the activities of the Utrechtsch Studenten Corps (Utrecht student society). In the early years, however, it was a typical almanac, with the calendar, opening and closing of the city gates, times tables of ferries and coaches, etc., but it also included extra information for students, such as a short history of the university, a list of the professors and board members, a complete list of the 395 students with their addresses, a Series Lectionem, and short stories and poems.
The edges and corners of the boards are scuffed and the joints are very slightly weakened. Otherwise in good condition. Cf. De Utrechtsche Universiteit 1636-1936, vol. III: Het Utrechtsch Studentenleven (De Corpsbijbel) (1936), p. 576.
