Description and Table of Contents
Description
By the end of the Middle Ages, St Augustine's Abbey possessed one of the largest and richest libraries in Britain. The medieval collections are visible today in an unusually large number of surviving books, one of the highest rates of survival for any medieval English abbey. What also survives is a remarkably sophisticated catalogue that provides detailed entries for over 1,800 volumes, reporting for each a press-mark, a listing of its contents and where apppropriate the name of its donor, each entry internally cross-referred, entered in a locations register and separately indexed. This work presents the first fully annotated edition of this extraordinary catalogue.
