John Willis Clark, a noted academic & antiquarian, published this book in 1901 after completing his work on the architectural history of Cambridge. His carefully researched study provides a wide-ranging account of the history of libraries from antiquity to the early modern period. Clark describes the buildings used to store books: churches, cloisters, & purpose-built libraries; the way collections were endowed, audited & protected; the development of library furniture, including lecterns, stalls, chaining systems & wall-cases; & the characteristics of monastic, collegiate, & private collections. The book is generously illustrated, & its approachable style means it will appeal not only to academic historians of libraries, but to a wider audience of those interested in books & reading culture, historic buildings & artefacts, & medieval, renaissance & early modern studies.
