Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed and fascinating exploration of a medieval monastic library, illuminating the intellectual life of a Benedictine community in the centuries leading up to the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The author delves into the history of the library itself, tracing its evolution from its origins in a twelfth-century room over the south aisle of the cathedral to its relocation in the fourteenth century and its ultimate transfer to the chapter house. Through a meticulous analysis of the surviving manuscripts, the author sheds light on the types of books favored by the monks and the broader intellectual currents that shaped their reading habits. The author's examination of the manuscripts' contents reveals a collection that was both remarkably extensive and surprisingly diverse, spanning theology, philosophy, medicine, and even literature. The book also provides insight into the monks' practical concerns, including the acquisition, preservation, and even the occasional loss of their prized volumes. This book serves as a valuable window into the world of medieval scholarship and provides a glimpse into the intellectual life of a monastic community.
