Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Descriptive Catalogue of the Manuscripts in the Library of Pembroke College, Cambridge Out of over three hundred manuscripts in the Library Of Pembroke College about half belong to the first of my two classes, and were acquired at various times during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. They are not by any means all the books that the College possessed. We have lists, doubtless incomplete, of gifts of books made by early Fellows and Masters, from which we learn that many volumes have been lost. It is not to be expected that these will be traced out now; yet the unexpected does sometimes happen, and a Pembroke manuscript may be seen in the University Library at Leyden'.

Book excerpt: The collection of manuscripts in the Library of Pembroke College falls into two main divisions which may be roughly described as the pre- and post-Reformation classes. The pre-Reformation books are those which were bought by the College, or given by its members, as being actually needed for study during the medieval period. They are the nucleus of the library as we see it to-day. A few other colleges in Cambridge, notably Peterhouse and Gonville and Caius, possess important relics of their medieval libraries, and in all the cases known to me the books in question are in the main undistinguished by external beauty, are written evidently with a view to cheapness, and contain only the works most commonly read in the schools. There are, to be sure, exceptions; we occasionally find books written, a couple of centuries before a college was founded, in the scriptorium of some great monastery which has sold them as duplicates, or perhaps presented them to a monk studying at the University. Thus Christ Church (Canterbury) and Buildwas have contributed books to Pembroke College. Generally speaking, however, the gifts of the medieval Fellows and the purchases made by colleges in medieval times are strictly practical and prosaic. The post-Reformation accessions are apt to be more interesting. They are usually derived from monastic libraries, and are such as appealed to the early collectors because of their contents or ornamentation.

This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: M. R. James (1862-1936) is probably best remembered as a writer of chilling ghost stories, but he was an outstanding scholar of medieval literature and palaeography, who served both as Provost of King's College, Cambridge, and as Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, and many of his stories reflect his academic background. His detailed descriptive catalogues of manuscripts owned by colleges, cathedrals and museums are still of value to scholars today. James' catalogue of the manuscript holdings of Pembroke College was first published in 1905. Now reissued, it will be welcomed by librarians and researchers alike.

Download or read book Manuscripts in the Library of Pembroke College, Cambridge and the Fitzwilliam Museum written by Kari Anne Rand and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2006 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `The Index of Middle English Prose when completed will be a monumental achievement' REVIEW OF ENGLISH STUDIES Two very different collections are surveyed in this volume. The manuscripts of Pembroke College, Cambridge are typical of a medieval foundation. Its core of books is a working library of that period, representing the interests andneeds of its Fellows, very often given or bequeathed by them to the College. The collection was substantially enlarged in 1599 through the gift by William Smart of Ipswich of a large number of manuscripts which until the Reformation had belonged to the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds. By contrast the emphasis of the Fitzwilliam Museum collection is to a great extent art historical. At its heart are the manuscripts bequeathed by Lord Fitzwilliam in 1816. These were supplemented throughout the 19th century by a series of gifts and bequests, culminating in 1904 in the largest bequest to date, from Frank McClean, of some 203 manuscripts. In spite of the different character of the two collections, both contain a range of Middle English prose items, among them Chaucer's Boece, a complete Wycliffite sermon cycle and several Paston letters [all from Pembroke], the Anlaby Cartulary, the "Canutus" pestilence tract, the Brut, Lydgate's Serpent of Division and Nicholas Love's Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ (from the Fitzwilliam). KARI ANNE RAND is Professor of Older English Literature at the University of Oslo.

Book Synopsis A Descriptive Catalogue of the Medieval Manuscripts in the Library of Peterhouse, Cambridge by : Rodney M. Thomson
Download or read book A Descriptive Catalogue of the Medieval Manuscripts in the Library of Peterhouse, Cambridge written by Rodney M. Thomson and published by D. S. Brewer. This book was released on 2016 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1284, Peterhouse is the University of Cambridge's oldest college. Its stated objective was to forward the study of theology, and before the Reformation it was a small community comprising a master and fourteen scholars.And yet by the late Middle Ages it had built up a substantial reference library. Today the college collection contains 277 manuscripts, almost all of which were at the College before the reformation, geared to the European university curriculum of the late middle ages. Founded in 1284 by Hugh of Balsham, bishop of Ely, Peterhouse is the University of Cambridge's oldest college. The earliest surviving version of its statutes, from 1344, declares that its primary function was to forward the studyof theology. Before the Reformation it was a small community, the statutes prescribing a master and fourteen scholars. And yet by the late Middle Ages it had built up a substantial reference library, out of all proportion to this small fellowship. Today the college collection contains 277 complete manuscripts; in addition, there are more than three hundred fragments in or taken from the bindings of early printed books. Almost all of the surviving books were at the College before the Reformation, so that the present collection represents the remains of its medieval library, not the accumulation of modern donations. This gives the collection a very particular character and interest. Not many of the books contain extensive or important illumination, and this absence has been exacerbated by massive vandalism apparently mainly perpetrated in the late sixteenth century. Neither does the collection containa high proportion of rare or unique texts, but rather many geared to the European university curriculum of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. This means that it is dominated by works of Aristotle in Latin and commentarieson them, by the philosophical theology of Peter Lombard, Thomas Aquinas, Albert the Great and John Duns Scotus, by Justinian's Corpus Iuris Ciuilis and the Corpus Iuris Canonici and their commentators, and by medical texts. The founder is said to have bequeathed to the College 'many books of theology and some representing the other branches of knowledge'. None of these can be identified today, but in fact the history of the library is fairly opaque before c. 1400. The earliest surviving account roll is from 1374/5 and the earliest library-catalogue from 1418. Nearly all of the books were acquired by donation, and it is mainly by connecting the books to their donors that onecan track the growth of the collection prior to the early fifteenth century. Fortunately, Peterhouse books are rich in information about their previous owners, particularly those who brought or gave them to the College, thanks insome measure to the habit of recording the gifts by a pious inscription in them. About sixty names of owners and donors appear in the surviving books and donors appear in the surviving books and documents.
