Book Details


JAMES (Montague Rhodes). A Descriptive Catalogue of the Manuscripts in the Fitzwilliam Museum, with Introduction and Indices.1895

The University Press, Cambridge. 4to, l, 472pp., 20 plates in photogravure, one leaf with an old repair to a closed tear, recent cloth, a nice copy. Pfaff, pp.180-181. "The great work - a fair assessment, despite imperfections - among the 1895 catalogues is that of the Fitzwilliam MSS... Being at the Fitzwilliam most days of the weeks must have given him constant access to the codices and allowed him to continue elaborating and refining his descriptions."
