A Descriptive Catalogue of the Manuscripts in the Library of Trinity Hall (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Descriptive Catalogue of the Manuscripts in the Library of Trinity Hall
General literature is best represented by a very curiously and Copiously illustrated French version of Boethius, with the Chatelaine de Vergy, and the Regale du Monde. I have never seen a book quite like this: the pictures are evidently copied partly from an older illustrated copy of the same books, and partly from a richly illuminated Psalter: they are rough reproductions of good originals.
The unique History by Thomas of Elmham of the Abbey of St Augustine at Canterbury is certainly the best known of the Trinity Hall manuscripts, and quite the most valuable. A specially interesting feature in it, which has not, I think, been adequately noticed, is to be found in its careful and skilful facsimiles of ancient charters.
There are other less interesting historical books, an Imago Mundi and a Polychronicon. The last department worthy of mention is that of Canon Law, to which belong the two books identifiable as legacies of the Founder.
All the most interesting part of the collection was the gift of one man; the good and zealous Cambridge antiquary, Robert Hare. His name appears in the following books in my list: 1, 2, 3, 5, io, 11, 12, 16, 17, 24, 28. The Thomas of Elmham, with its curious stipulation, the Boethius, the Walden and Dymock, are all in the group.
