Description and Table of Contents

Description

The medieval university at Cambridge was a centre for the circulation of books. Colleges came to own collections of books for the use of their fellows, and in the late Middle Ages many colleges built library-rooms to house their books. This volume collects all the medieval documents that refer to library holdings in both the medieval university and its colleges, documents of various debates and degrees of sophistication. Also included is a section on individuals who gave or bequeathed books to Cambridge libraries.
