This book was released on 1999 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handlist to manuscripts in one of Britain's major medieval repositories. Lambeth Palace Library, which dates from a bequest by Archbishop Bancroft in 1610, is one of England's major repositories of medieval manuscripts. More than half of the ninety-six manuscripts and documents containing items of Middle English prose were already present when the library was temporarily transferred to Cambridge in 1647. In the succeeding centuries further manuscript materials have continually been added, and within the last few years the library has become home to the older part of Sion College Library, an event that has added a further seven manuscripts to the present handlist. The collection at Lambeth is large enough to be fully representative of the corpus of Middle English prose: the Brut, the Wycliffite Bible, and Love's Mirror, for example, are all present, in some cases in multiple copies, as are writings by Hilton and Rolle. There are sermon cycles (including an almost complete set of Wycliffite sermons), medical recipes, historical works, and anthologies of religious treatises. Altogether the current handlist indexes almost 800 separate items, ranging from the veterinary to the liturgical. O.S.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manuscripts in the Library at Lambeth Palace We find that in Bernard's Catalogi Manuscriptorum Angliae (1697), ii. pp. 198-203, is a list of 312 MSS. belonging to Charles Theyer, of Gloucestershire: and a comparison of this list with Casley's Catalogue of the Royal MSS. shews that with very few exceptions the books enumerated now form part of the Royal Library. In other words, the collection of Charles Theyer, described by Bernard, is that which Charles II. bought. It is clear that when Bernard's Catalogue was issued the Theyer MSS. must have been for some years at St James's: but I do not find any note of the fact either in Preface or Appendix. It will be further noticed that the number of books (312) differs widely from that specified by Wood (about 800). An explanation of this fact is not immediately forthcoming. We should expect at this stage of our investigation to find that the Theyer MSS. in the Royal Library were traceable in large part to Lanthony Priory. That, however, is not the case. Of a large number which I have myself examined, not more than two or three are Lanthony books. Worcester and Gloucester have contributed largely to the collection: and this is not surprising when we know that the ancestral abode of the Theyers was in the immediate neighbourhood of Gloucester. But as to Lanthony - clearly there is something more than meets the eye in the history as given by Wood. We can hardly doubt that he is correct in his account of the connexion between the old Theyer and Prior Hart, and the presence of many books from Lanthony on Theyer's shelves. We also see that these books must have been diverted to some other quarter before the purchase of the collection by Charles II. Can we at this time of day ascertain either when the diversion took place, or where the Lanthony books are now? I believe we can. It would clearly be a very great help if we could arm ourselves with a document showing what books were in the Library whose relics we are pursuing. Such a document is very fortunately accessible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jennifer Summit’s account, libraries are more than inert storehouses of written tradition; they are volatile spaces that actively shape the meanings and uses of books, reading, and the past. Considering the two-hundred-year period between 1431, which saw the foundation of Duke Humfrey’s famous library, and 1631, when the great antiquarian Sir Robert Cotton died, Memory’s Library revises the history of the modern library by focusing on its origins in medieval and early modern England. Summit argues that the medieval sources that survive in English collections are the product of a Reformation and post-Reformation struggle to redefine the past by redefining the cultural place, function, and identity of libraries. By establishing the intellectual dynamism of English libraries during this crucial period of their development, Memory’s Library demonstrates how much current discussions about the future of libraries can gain by reexamining their past.
