A VERY short statement of the arrangement and contents of this volume is all that is needed from me by way of preface. What has been already done by others in the way of cata- loguing this Collection is as follows: Thomas James included a list of 267 MSS. among the Catalc^es contained in his Ecloga Oxonio-Cantabrigiensis^ pub- lished in 1600 (pp. Ill — 126). This list was reprinted without alteration, save for a few errors in the numbering, in Bernard's Catalogi Manuscriptarum Angliae et Hibemiae, 1697 (Vol. II. pp. 147 — 155). Dr Heinrich Schenkl, Professor at the University of Gratz, has given a brief account of such MSS. as were germane to his subject in his excellent book, Bibliotheca Patrum Latinorum Britannka, 1898 (ll. Band, ii. Abth. (Fortsetzung), Die Biblio- theken der Colleges in Cambridge^ II. pp. 63 — 82). Beyond these I believe no systematic attempt has been made to give a detailed account of these Manuscripts, whose principal interest lies in the fact that they constitute the best specimen we have in Cambridge of a mediaeval College library. At the end of this preface will be found a table which gives the comparative numberings of Thomas James's Catalc^ue, of Bernard's, and of my own. I have subjoined to this a few notes on volumes now missing, whose former presence in the library is attested either by Thomas James, or by a MS. Catalogue, com- piled after a very rough fashion, by Mr Charles Topping in 1760. This volume is now L. 3. 27 in the College library. X PREFACE. The description of the MSS. follows : and in an appendix to this I have given particulars of a few alienated MSS., and of volumes which were missing before Thomas James visited Cam- bridge. My thanks are due in the first place to the Master and Fellows of Peterhouse, who have made it possible for me to carry out a piece of wotk which has, I hope, taught me a good deal : and especially to the Reverend W. E. Barnes, D.D., the Librarian, for the trouble he has taken in affording me access to the MSS. The Registrary of the University, Mr J. W. Clark, M.A., Trinity College, has largely increased the interest of my book by his history of the Library-building. His help, always generously given, was never more welcome. The Index is the work of Miss M. H. James. I end with an apology for all sins of omission and commission herein to be found. That a good many will be found is certain : I can only hope that they will not be so many, or so grave, as to outweigh the value of the body of new information here given to the public. And so, to use the words of an author, whose book is, as I consider, even duller than mine, concedat Deus /tunc librum studentibus quod ipsorum mutua uisio sit in patria. MONTAGUE RHODES JAMES.

A RESPECT for books, that is to say, manuscripts, was one of the most striking characteristics of the Middle Ages; and writers of that period, whether secular or religious, vie with one another in inventing epigrammatic phrases to shew their sense of the value of such possessions, and of the duty of safeguarding them against injury or loss. In the Rule of S. Benedict daily reading is specially inculcated as a remedy for " idleness the enemy of the soul " in the following words : Between Easter and the calends of October let brethren apply themselves to reading from the fourth hour till near the sixth hour.... From the calends of October to the beginning of Lent let them apply themselves to reading until the second hour... During Lent let them apply themselves to reading from morning until the end of the third hour... and, in these days of Lent, let them receive a book apiece from the library, and read it straight through....^ As time went on, the distribution of the books of the House among the brethren at the beginning of Lent for use during that season was extended. Books were distributed as heretofore at the beginning of Lent, but each brother was allowed to keep his volume for a whole year. In the .statutes which Lanfranc promulgated for the use of English Benedictines in 1070, and which, as he tells us, were based on common monastic practice, the keeper of the books is directed to bring all the volumes ^ Rule ofS, Benedict t Chap. 48, Of daily manual labour. P. C. h xviii INTRODUCTION. under his charge into Chapter at the beginning of Lent, with the exception of those which had been assigned for reading a year previously, and to lay them out upon a carpet. Then the brethren are to enter the Chapter House, each with his book in his hand. When they are all assembled, the Librarian is to read a statement as to the manner in which brethren have had books during the past year; each brother, as he hears his name pronounced, is to give back the book which had been entrusted to him for reading; and he whose conscience accuses him of not having read the book through which he had received, is to fall on his face, confess his fault, and entreat forgiveness. This done, the Librarian is to make a fresh distribution of books, namely, a different volume to each brother for his reading^ This assignment of books means, I presume, that each brother was allowed to consider the manuscript allotted to him as his to read for the year, but it does not imply removal from the common bookcase {armarium commufte). This piece of furniture usually stood in the cloister, the centre of the common life of the House, where, at least in the earlier ages of the monastic system, brethren read, wrote, and taught. As time went on, and the number of books increased, additional space was provided by the construction of a separate room. This room, to judge by the evidence still available, resembled other medieval Libraries in being long and narrow, and lighted by numerous windows in each side-wall. The bookcases stood at right angles to the wall between the windows, and the books were attached to them by chains. The books required for daily use were still stored in the cupboards in the cloister, and brethren went on studying there as heretofore, unless they preferred the Library. The whole system is graphically described in Tfte Rites of Durham, where each of the older monks had a separate wooden cell, called a "carrell," built up against the window of the cloister, to protect him from cold and interruption. And over against the cairells against the church wall did stande certaine great almeries [or cupbords] of waynscott all full of bookes, wherein did lye as well the old auncyent written Doctors of the Church as other prophane authors with dyverse other * Rejmer, ApostolcUus Betiedictinorum in Anglia, App. p. ii6. MONASTIC AND COLLEGIATE STATUTES. xix holie mens wourks, so that every one dyd studye what Doctor pleased them best, haveinge the Librarie at all tymes to goe studye in besydes there carrells^. I have described the system that obtained in the Monasteries because it is obviously the source whence the corresponding enactments in collegiate statutes were derived. Not only is the language of monastic statutes and Customs {Consuetudinarid) identical with that of many early collegiate statutes, but the practice of the Colleges was the same as that of the Monasteries. I will translate, as an example, the following rules for the management of the books from the statutes of Oriel College, Oxford, dated 1329: The common books (communes libri\ of the House are to be brought and inspected once a year, on the feast of the Commemoration of Souls [a November], in presence of the Provost or his deputy, and of the Scholars [Fellows]. Every one of them in turn, in order of seniority, may select a single book which either treats of the science to which he is devoting himself, or which he requires for his use. This he may keep until the same festival in the succeeding year, when a similar selection of books is to take place, and so on from year to year. If there should happen to be more books than persons, those that remain are to be selected in the same manner'. In this statute we find the annual audit, the distribution among the members of the House, and the permission to retain the volume so received for a year. The statutes of Peterhouse, dated 1344, class the books of the Society with the charters and the muniments, and prescribe the following rules for their safe custody: In order that the books which are the common property of the House, the charters, and the muniments, may be kept in safe custody, we appoint and ordain that an indenture be drawn up of the whole of them in the presence of at least the major part of the scholars, expressing what the books are, and to what faculty they Mong; of which indenture one part is to be deposited with the Master, the other with the Deans. The aforesaid books, charters, and muniments are to be placed in one or more common chests, each having two locks, one key of which shall for greater security be deposited with the Master, the other with the Senior Dean, who shall cause the books to be distributed to those scholars who have need of them, in the manner which has been more fully set forth in the section which treats of the office of the Deans'. * Rites of Durham^ ed. Surtees Soc. p. 71. 2 Commiss, Docts. Oxford^ Vol. I., Statutes of Oriel College, p. 14. The Statutes of the Colleges of Oxford and Cambridge bearing on the care of books have been thoroughly analysed by Professor Willis in his essay on "The Library," Arch, Hist. in. pp. 387 —471. ' Commiss, Docts, Cambric^y Vol. n. p. 38, Statutes of Peterhouse, § 53, De omnibus Lihris DomuS'i MunimentiSy et Chartis custodiendis, b2 XX INTRODUCTION. The section referred to prescribes that the Deans are to distribute them [the books] to the scholars in such manner as shall appear to them expedient ; and further, they shall, if they think proper, make each scholar take an oath that he will not alienate any book so borrowed, but will take all possible care of it, and restore it to the Master and Dean, at the expiration of the appointed time^ « In this statute the value of the books is recognised in the direction to prepare a list of them in a specially formal way ; and it is worth noting that a division into subjects is prescribed. The indenture is to express not merely what the book is, but to what Faculty it belongs. As the books are to be kept in chests, it may be taken for granted that no special Library had as yet been built The principle of distribution among the Scholars, or as we should say the Fellows, is distinctly recognised. No annual audit seems to have been held ; but, on the other hand, the Master and the Dean lent the book for a definite time, and they had the power of compelling the borrower to bind himself solemnly to return it at the expiration of that time. It is evident that when these statutes were drawn up no collection for reference existed; and moreover that the books which the Society possessed were held to be so valuable that the Fellows could not be allowed free access to them, as the brethren had in Monasteries. Their number was probably not large. But in the seventy-four years which intervene between the date of these statutes and that of the catalogue here printed, which was prepared in 141 8, the Society had accumulated as many as 380' volumes. A collection so large as this could be divided into books for the use of the Fellows {libri distribiundi) and books chained in the Library {libri cathenati in librarid)\ in other words, into a lending library and a library of reference. We are not told how this division had been made, or at what time; but it is evident that by 141 8 it had become permanent, and no longer depended on the tastes or studies of the Fellows. There was one set of books for them to select from, and another for them to refer to ; but the two were quite distinct. ' Ibid, § 15, p. 17. * This, and not 377, p. 23, is the true number; for 314 is doubled, and 315 trebled, making 3 volumes in all to be added to the total. ANALYSIS OF THE CATALOGUE.

In framing these tables I have included among the Libri cathenati those specially presented to the College, 46 in number ; but I have not attempted to sort them according to subject. I have also assumed that any book or books representing a given class, if not represented in the Lending Library, as Astronomy, Arithmetic, Music, etc., would be chained for reference. The number of this class, 220, if added to the 160 of the other class, gives the required total, 380. In addition to these tables it may be interesting to construct a third, containing the subject and number of the books repre- sented in both collections: Chained Lent Theology 61 63 Natural Philosophy 26 ) Metaphysics 3 [ »9 Moral Philosophy 5 ) Logic 5 15 Grammar 6 » Poetry 4 '3 Medicine 15 3 Civil Law 9 10 Canon Law 18 19 15^ i5» The subjects of the books included in this latter table repre- sent, in a very clear and interesting way, the studies pursued at Peterhouse in the 14th and 15th centuries. It is prescribed by the Statutes, dated 1344, that the Scholars are to study Arts, Aristotelian Philosophy, or Theology ; but that they are to apply themselves to the course in Arts until, in the judgment of the Master and Fellows, or at least of the larger and wiser portion of that body, they are sufficiently instructed to proceed to the study of Theology*. Two may study Civil Law or Canon Law, ^ Commiss, Docts, Cambridge^ Vol. I. p. 11, Stat. 14.

For both these lines of study special leave is required. The course of Arts comprised Grammar, Logic, Aristotle, Arithmetic, Music, Geometry, and Astronomy^ In the first of these, including Poetry, the lending library contained more volumes than the reference library ; in Logic it had three times as many ; in Philosophy (Aristotle and his commentators) it was well supplied ; but, on the other hand, Music, Geometry and Astronomy were wholly wanting. Theology is represented by 63 volumes as against 61 in the reference library; Civil Law by 20 volumes against 9 in the reference library ; and Canon Law by 19 against 18. In Medicine, however, there were only 3 against 15 elsewhere. By a curious coincidence the number of volumes in the two collections dealing with the subjects represented in both is the same. It may be safely concluded from these lists that the subject most in request, as might have been expected, was Theology. Next to this come Civil Law and Canon Law. Medicine was evidently unpopular. I have no explanation to offer for the curious fact that Arithmetic, Music, Geometry, and Rhetoric are represented by only a single volume apiece in the library of reference. I will next consider how this Library might have been arranged. In the catalogue the books are sorted according to subjects only, instead of being enumerated, as is so often the case in such documents, according to their position in the room". But one indication is given to us, which throws a deal of light upon the question. The very first book in the catalogue, a Bible, is said to stand " in the sixth lectern on the west side," (Jectritto 6* ex parte occidentali). The word lectrinum is unusual. The words commonly used are stallum, descus^ sediky pluteus, or, on the continent, banca or bancns. As I have explained elsewhere, it is reasonable to suppose that when books were placed in a ^ Duo autem in Jure Canonico vel Civili, et non plures simul, et unus in Arte Medicinre tantum, de Magistri et Scolarium seu majoris partis eorum providentia, quos ipsi ad hoc habiles et aptiores sub sui debito iuramenti decreverint, licenter studeant.

Xxiv INTRODUCTION. separate room, and chained for the use of a College or a Convent, the first piece of furniture adopted was an elongated lectern or desk, of a height convenient for a seated reader to use. Such contrivances are to be found depicted in MSS,, and a Library so fitted up still exists at Zutphen in Holland. I need not describe it minutely'; a drawing of a single desk and seat, with a reader studying one of the chained books, will give a sufficiently clear idea of what the system was.

He ends a record of a complete alteration of the internal fittings in 1617 with the words: This alteration was rendered necessary by the serious damage which, to our great sorrow, we found the books had suffered — a damage which was increasing daily — partly from the sloping form of the desks, partly from the inconvenient weight of the chains (/uffi ex dec/wi pluteorum fabricA^ turn ex ineptA mole catenarum), I subjoin an elevation of the end of one of the desks at Queens' College; and I have placed it by the side of a similar elevation from Zutphen, to shew the general similarity between the two sets of desks. From this, and from the sketch of the Zutphen Library above, it will not be difficult to reconstruct in imagination the desks at Queens' College, and so to arrive at a tolerably correct idea of the appearance of a collegiate library early in the fifteenth century, when fitted up on what, for want of a better term, I will call the lectern-system. I Elevation of (A) one of the bookcases in the library at Zutphen : (B) one of those in the library at Queens' College, Cambridge. A medieval collegiate library was like the corresponding room in Monasteries, as explained above, long and narrow, lighted by XXVI INTRODUCTION. a row of equidistant windows in each side-wall, much closer together than those of ordinary chambers*. The most charac- teristic example of such a library is at Merton College, Oxford, where the room, attributed by tradition to William Reade, Bishop of Chichester, 1368- -85, still preserves its ancient fittings. At Cambridge good examples are to be seen at Queens* College (1448), Jesus College (1505), S. John's College, on the left of the gate of entrance (1516). The bookcases or desks stood at right angles to the wall between each pair of windows, the readers seat being placed in front of the window, so as to give him the greatest amount of light for his work. For the reconstruction of the Library at Peterhouse we have but few data ; but even with those few the task may be attempted. Its major axis was clearly north and south, because we are told that six lecterns at least stood on the west side. It is probable that it had an east side also, because otherwise the west side would not have been specially mentioned. The lecterns would have been described merely by their number. If it be agreed that it had an east as well as a west wall, with lecterns standing against both, we may proceed to allow a space of about four feet between each pair of lecterns, pierce the wall for a window, and place a seat in front of it. This arrangement will require five windows of (say) two lights each, the usual number ; and a window of a single light at each end where there would be a seat only. If we allow I ft. 6 in. for each lectern, we shall have a room 37 feet long by 1 8 feet broad. I have allowed 7 feet for the length of each lectern, which is possibly too little. At Zutphen the lecterns are 9 feet long, and the average number of books in each 17. But this space seemed to me to be excessive when I visited that Library ; and if we suppose the books packed rather more closely, it will not be difficult to dispose of the 220 volumes over 12 lecterns. Moreover, we do not know for certain that the number of these was limited to 12. I have merely given a rough estimate, to shew how six lecterns on a side would probably have been arranged in 1418. Further, I have not dealt with the accommodation of the lending library. We do not know under what conditions the books were * Sec Professor Willis, in the Essay above quoted, Chapter I. LIBRARIES AT PETERHOUSE. XXVll lent ; I mean, for how long a given volume might be kept, or how many a borrower might have at a time. As, however, there were only 152 volumes in this class, they could easily be accommodated on shelves against the wall at each end of the Library; or in chests under the seats; or in a separate room. There is no record, documentary or traditional, of the position of this Library ; but, as the quadrangle of the College was not begun until after the date of the catalogue, it is obvious that it must have been situated in one of the ancient houses {hospitid) which the Founder had bought for his scholars ; and which are known to have occupied the ground between the street and a line represented by the west front of the Chapel and Cloisters. In 143 1 a new Library was begun\ The contract for building it is dated 12 February 143 1, but the work went forward very slowly, and the books were not moved in until 1450. In that year the desks of the old Library were broken up, and sixteen locks and two keys were ordered*. The sixteen locks tell us that there was that number of cases in the Library ; and the two keys that the presence of two officials was required to open any lock. This I-ibrary is known to have been on the west side of the quadrangle ; and the stone " vice " or spiral staircase leading up to it is still used to reach the set of rooms into which it is now divided. At the top of this staircase is a stone landing, bounded on the north side by a wall. In the centre of this wall the remains of an original door-case may be detected, through which the Library was entered. It was 19 feet wide, and 48 feet long, if I am right in placing the northern limit where there are indications of a wall which has been rather clumsily removed'. There are three windows, or remains of windows (^, b, c\ which appear to be original, on the west side ; and by the help of these the rest of the series on this side may be re-constructed. On the east side the classical ashlar imposed by Sir Ja. Burrough (1754 — SS) has effectually obliterated all trace of earlier work. We can therefore * Architectural History^ ut supra, Vol. I. p. 10.

' These indications are very distinctly seen on the west side, by the staircase called " Noah's Ark.'* INTRODUCTION, Plan of ihe library on the west side of the quadrangle begun MSf. LIBRARY BEGUN I43I. XXIX only conjecture that the windows on this side would be similar to those on the other. This introduction of seven windows in each wall leaves space for six cases and two half-cases on each side, for which the sixteen locks mentioned in the accounts would be required. If this sug- gestion be accepted we must conclude that the pld system of lecterns was adopted, or something analogous, requiring only a single lock for each lectern or desk. When shelves came to be used, it was found necessary to have two locks to each case, one for each side, with a complicated system of iron-work attached to them. In this Library the division into library of reference and lending library was fully recognised : for in the catalogue (p. 23) the books given by Mr Roger Marchall in 1472 are divided, by the donor himself, into two classes ; those which are to be placed /;/ libraria vestra secretiori, and, if the Society pleases, in chains {in vinculis si vobis videatur) ; and those which are to be chained in the more open library {ponantur in vincula in apertiori libraria vestra). These books, I will suggest, corresponded to the Books not to be taken out of the University Library. They might be freely con- sulted in the room, but not removed from it. In the same way at Clairvaux,.so late as 1723, there were books chained in the cloister, for the use of any passing brother who had a few moments to spare*. In 1473 Dr John Warkworth became Master. He was evidently a lover of books, for he gave to the Library 55 volumes (pp. 23-26); which he protected, after the fashion of an earlier age, by invoking a curse upon him who should alienate them. Moreover, during his Mastership, in 1480, the College enacted or adopted a special statute headed, De libris Collegii^, which may be thus translated : In the name of God, Amen. As books are the most precious treasure of scholars, concerning which there ought to be the most diligent care and forethought, lest, as heretofore, they fall to decay or be lost, it is hereby appointed, settled, and ordained, by the Master and Fellows of the House or College of S. Peter in Cambridge, that no book which has been chained in the library there shall be taken away from, or removed out of, the library, except by special assent and consent of the Master and all the resident Fellows of the aforesaid Collie — it being understood that by resident Fellows a majority of the whole Society is meant. ^ Voyage lAtUraire de deux Religieux Benedictins^ 4to, 171 7. Vol. I. p. loi. ' Cofumiss. Docis, I. 44. XXX INTRODUCTION. It is not intended that any book which has been given to the library on condition of being kept perpetually chained therein shall, by virtue of this statute, l)e on any pretence removed from it, except only when it needs repair. Every book in the library which is to be selected and distributed shall have a certain value set upon it by the Master and the two Deans, and indentures shall be drawn up recording the same. Once in every two years, in the Michaelmas Term, a fresh selection and distribution shall be held of every book which is not chained in the library — the precise day to be fixed by the Master and the Senior Dean. No book so selected and distributed shall pass the night out of College, except by permission of the Master and the President and the other Dean who is not President ; provided always that the said book be not kept out of the College for six months in succession. If it should happen that a given book be not brought in and produced on the aforesaid day of fresh selection and distribution, then the person who is responsible for it shall pay to the Master, or in his absence to the Senior Dean, the full value of the said absent book, under pain of being put out of commons until it be restored. Every Fellow who is not present on the aforesaid day shall appoint a deputy, who shall be prepared to bring in any books which may have been lent to him, on the day when a fresh distribution is to take place, under pain of being put out of commons. In this statute the old practice of distribution is maintained ; but some new and rather remarkable features are introduced. The audit of books is to be biennial, not annual'. Further, it would appear that "every book which is not chained in the Library" was intended to be distributed, if anybody wanted it ; and that, practically, the use of the books was not limited to members of the College ; for though it is provided that ** no book so selected and distributed shall pass the night out of College, except by per- mission of the Master [etc.]"; the next clause allows a book, for which such permission has been obtained, to remain out of College for a period not exceeding six months. It should be noted, before leaving Dr Warkworth, that he gave to the Library an Astrolabe (p. 26). This reminds us of the practice, common in later times, of placing globes in Libraries*; and when books could not be taken out, their usefulness is obvious. The Library on the west side of the principal court remained in use until 1594, when the new Library, sixty feet long, on the south side of the entrance-court, due to the liberality of Dr Perne ' Item quod semel in biennio fiat nova electio et distributio singulorum librorum dicti Collegii existentium extra librariam. ' See the print of the library of the University of Leiden, by Woudanus, 1610. DR PERNE'S LIBRARY. XXXI (Master 1553-89), was completed'. The chains were then taken off the books, and they were moved into the new room, the old cases, in all probability, remaining still in use. Since that date the books have not been disturbed ; for the only changes introduced between the end of the sixteenth century and the present time have been the prolongation of the Library- Building eastwards up to the street in 1633, and the provision of new bookcases between 1641 and 1644. These are such interesting specimens that I will conclude this notice of the Library of Peterhouse with the description of them that I prepared for the Architectural History*. " There are seven compartments on each side, made by six bookcases and two half-bookcases against the east and west walls. The walls are panelled, but the bookcases stand at right angles to them independent of the panel-work. Their general plan will be understood from the sketch given below. When first put up they were 8 feet 6 inches high, as may still be seen at the west end of the room, on each side of the entrance ; ' Arckilalural Hislery, ut supra, p. 18. ' Ibid. Vol. 111. p. 45J. xxxii INTRODUCTION. but at some subsequent period the others have been raised to a height of 1 1 feet, so as to touch the ceiling. The inserted portion has been cleverly made to correspond in style with the older work, but it may be readily detected by the deal lining. Each bookcase is 7 feet 2 inches long, by 2 feet 2 inches broad ; and is divided into two compartments by a broad central pilaster. Professor Willis notes that the names of the books were written in the panels of each of these pilasters, but these lists no longer exist. The three cases on each side nearest to the door have a semicircular pediment. This has been removed from the others, to admit them beneath the ceiling. No indications of chaining are to be found on any of these cases, and therefore no benches were provided in front of them for readers. Instead of benches a seat, 12 inches broad, and 23 inches high, appears on the side of each bookcase, forming the top of a complete * podium,* the uppermost member of which is returned across the face of the end, or standard. The ends of this podium are concealed by richly-carved wings. Most of these seats have been removed to provide additional room for books ; but they still remain on the cases which stand on each side of the two fire-places in the south wall, and on those which form the first compartment on each side of the room at the west end. In these compartments the seat is carried along the north and south walls as well as along the bookcases.'* J. W. CLARK. 21 March^ 1899. THE OLD CATALOGUE. Before beginning the description of the MSS. now in possession of the College, I print the Old Catalogue of the Library, made on Christmas Eve, 141 8, together with the lists of subsequent donations, the latest and largest of which is the gift of John Warkeworth in 1481. These lists together comprise 439 volumes, of which over 200 are still identifiable. The Catalogue is contained in the oldest Register of the College, and from this I have transcribed it. It is a very full one, and for the most part gives not only the opening words of the second leaf of each volume, but also (and this is a far rarer practice) those of the last leaf but one : so that ample means are given for ascertaining whether any particular MS. belonged to the College in early times or not. I have, as is natural, somewhat condensed the formula in which these indications are given, and have reduced the whole to a tabular form. The full form is as follows : (i) Biblia. Incipit in 2"* folio singule in penultimo ad uni- uersa. Some few marginal and interlinear notes are relegated to the foot of the page : and these are all the liberties I have taken with my original. The numbering of the volumes is my own. As to the number of volumes which have been lost, it seems at first sight unduly large : but a little consideration will suggest the reason. The library is divided into two classes. One set of books were cathenati in librario^ "chained in the Library," the other diuisi inter socios, "distributed among the Fellows." It is in p, c. I 2 CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS. accordance with the nature of things that this latter class should have been less well preserved than the former. They were handed about from one man to another, much thumbed, and exposed to all the accidents of loss, fire, sale, and theft. Very few of them are in fact left. Among the Theological books I find six out of about 44. In Natural Philosophy, Poetry, and Grammar, two out of 47. In Medicine none out of three. In Civil Law two out of 16. In Canon Law none out of 19. This at once accounts for the loss of 121 volumes, a very con- siderable proportion of the 170 or so which are missing. In fact, I think the College has done very well in the matter of preserving its books. Out of 54 volumes (not including Service-books) which were presented by John Warkeworth, only nine seem to be gone. There have been, however, some losses since Thomas James drew up his Catalogue in 1600 : and a few since 1760 when Mr Topping, Librarian of the College, made a MS. list A note of these will be found at the end of the Catalogue. One MS. was acquired by Mr Samuel Pepys, and is now in the Pepysian Library at Magdalene College: and I have dis- covered two others in St John's College Library, to which they were presented by Dr W. Beale (1633 — 1644). A description of these will be given in due course. THE OLD CATALOGUE OF PETEilHOUSE LIBRARY. • • .- P. I.
