M.R. James (1862-1936) is probably best remembered as a writer of chilling ghost stories, but he was an outstanding scholar of medieval literature and palaeography, who served both as Provost of King's College, Cambridge, and as Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, and many of his stories reflect his academic background. His detailed descriptive catalogues of manuscripts owned by colleges, cathedrals and museums are still of value to scholars today. James's catalogue of the extensive manuscript holdings of Trinity College was first published in four volumes between 1900 and 1904, the final volume consisting of plates and an index. Now reissued, it will be welcomed by librarians and researchers alike.

Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was a student of Magdalene College, Cambridge, & bequeathed his personal library of 3000 volumes to the College on condition that the contents remained intact & unaltered; they remain there, in his original bookcases, to this day. In the early twentieth century, a project to produce a complete catalogue was begun, & four volumes were published between 1914 & 1940. Volume 3 lists 51 volumes of medieval manuscripts, some of them consisting of several items bound together. The author, the outstanding palaeographer & prolific writer of catalogues M.R. James, remarks on the almost total absence of Latin liturgical & theological manuscripts, & calls attention to the historical, literary & scientific writings in English & French, several picture-books, an interesting 'scrapbook' & a unique copybook from 1400 included in Pepys' collection.

"A Guide to early printed books and manuscripts" provides an introduction to the language and concepts employed in bibliographical studies and textual scholarship as they pertain to early modern manuscripts and printed texts. Based almost exclusively on new primary research, it explains the complex process of viewing documents as artefacts, showing readers how to describe documents properly and how to read their physical properties. It demonstrates how to use the information gleaned as a tool for studying the transmission of literary documents. It makes clear why such matters are important and the purposes to which such information is put. It features illustrations that are carefully chosen for their unfamiliarity in order to keep the discussion fresh.
