DOWNLOAD EBOOK →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 EBOOK →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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →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 1.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →`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.
