INTRODUCTORY NOTE

In 1925, the American Council of Learned Societies took into consideration the possibility and desirability of a union catalogue or census of all the medieval manuscripts preserved in the United States. A committee was appointed, of which at first Professor Karl Young was chairman, succeeded a little later by Dr. James T. Gerould, librarian of Princeton University. In 1929, the General Education Board, at the instance of the American Council of Learned Societies, made an appropriation deemed adequate for the preparation of such a census with the moderate degree of elaboration which was thought

suitable to a first publication in the field intended to be covered. The appropriation, in accordance with the wish of the Council, was made to the Librarian of Congress ; the Library, and more especially its Division of Manuscripts, was to be charged with the administration of the fund and the general supervision of the enterprise. An advisory committee was formed, of which Professor Robert P. Blake, director of the libraries of Harvard University, was chairman, and which also included, in addition to the two scholars already named, Pro-

fessor George L. Burr of Cornell University and Professor

| Henry A. Sanders of the University of Michigan. At a meeting of this committee held in Cambridge, September 16, 1929, the general outlines of the project were agreed on, the inclusion of Canada in the survey was resolved upon, and a definition was

made of the particulars which should be noted in the case of each individual manuscript, with as much uniformity as should prove to be possible. Mr. Seymour de Ricci, whose unexcelled competence in the general field of medieval manuscripts would, it was conceived, guarantee the success of the project, was en-

VI

gaged as editor, Dr. William J. Wilson as assistant editor, and work began in October 1929. Its completion has been attended

by some of the delays which usually mark the progress of such enterprises, but the result is now laid before readers with confidence that it will be widely useful, and with gratitude to

the General Education Board, to owners and custodians. of manuscripts who have aided its progress, and especially to Mr. de Ricci and Dr. Wilson. J. F. JAMESON

PREFACE

“ No public institution, ” wrote in 1876 Léopold Delisle, “can evade the duty of informing the public of the manuscripts it owns, and the best way to do it is by printing a catalogue.” In the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, most

of the European libraries have published descriptions, more or less perfect, of the manuscripts resting on their shelves. The few institutions in which for various reasons this task has not

yet been completed have been subject to considerable and well justified criticism. The present work is a first attempt to supply scholars with similar information on the earlier manuscripts preserved in the United States of America and in Canada.

It is not surprising that such an attempt should have been delayed so long. Although individual manuscripts have drifted to America as early as the eighteenth, or even the seventeenth

century, it is only in the course of the last thirty years that _ substantial collections of manuscript material have been built up by American librarians and bibliophiles. Practically every collection of early manuscripts west of the Atlantic is still in

a growing stage and owners naturally hesitate to print their catalogues in a period during which they are still continually adding to their stores.

If I am not mistaken, the earliest American catalogues of any importance are those printed in 1906 and 1909 by two private collectors, Mr. ]. Pierpont Morganand Mr. Robert Hoe; while the earliest notable catalogue of manuscripts in a public library is E. J. Goodspeed and Martin Sprengling’s valuable description (1912) of the manuscripts belonging to the University of Chicago.

VII

In the last few years, quite a number of libraries have compiled or printed more or less elaborate lists of their manuscript holdings; there is still nevertheless far too little inform-

ation available in print as to early manuscripts in American collections.

In 1918 and 1919, during a first trip around the United States, accomplished at the expense of the French Government,

I had occasion to visit quite a number of American libraries and museums and to begin to list the early manuscripts they then contained. Some of the results of this first exploration I included

in A handlist of Latin classical manuscripts in American libraries, printed in April 1922 in the Lowa Philological Quarterly and since supplemented in 1926 and 1928, in the same periodical, by two additional notes from the pen of Prof. B. L.

Ullman. Projects on the same subject had been mooted in various quarters, such as the Modern Language Association of America.

Dr. Jameson’s introductory note has explained the genesis

of the present undertaking — proposed by the American Council of Learned Societies, shaped in consultations between

its permanent secretary, Dr. Waldo G. Leland, and Dr. Putnam, sustained by the General Education Board, and administered by the Library of Congress. The general plan having been formed, I was appointed as editor, with the valuable help of Dr. W. J. Wilson as assistant editor, his first task being to ascertain, from the printed books in the Library of Congress, the exact extent of the available literature on the field to be covered. To this preliminary labor he devoted several months, during which I worked into shape the bulk

of the notes which I had been collecting for the past ten years on early manuscripts in American collections.

Four consecutive journeys through the United States and Canada gave me the opportunity to examine personally nearly all the important collections and a number of secondary ones.

IX I was also enabled to print in the Bulletin of the New York Public Library (1930) a specimen of the proposed Census, describing the manuscripts belonging to that institution, inviting the criticism of specialists and the comments of fellow-bibliogra-

phers. Their responses were so satisfactory that we were much

- encouraged to prosecute our labors. At my suggestion, a printed questionary, signed by Dr. Put-

nam, was forwarded by Dr. Wilson to over four thousand libraries and private collectors, asking for information respect-

ing their own possessions, as well as on other material of which they might have knowledge. The replies were both numerous and helpful, and have enabled the field to be covered with more than usual thoroughness and accuracy. Innumerable smaller collections have been located and described : in many

instances, I have been able actually to visit them; in many others, the owners have been generous enough to send their holdings on loan either to the Library of Congress or to some other centrally located institution, thus saving considerable time and expense to the compilers of this work.

It is immensely gratifying to state that in such a large field

only one holder of manuscripts has shown any real reluctance to satisfy our desires. Much as we regret his unwillingness to cooperate with fellow-workers on this particular occasion, we cannot but feel that the ultimate regrets will one

day fall even more heavily on his own shoulders. It will be easily understood that, in such an extensive field as that which we have attempted to cover, anything like completeness is an impossible goal. Even for public institutions and corporate bodies we have not been able to do more than exhaust the most obvious sources of information and we fear that many collections of real importance may have escaped our knowledge. For manuscripts in private ownership the situation is even less satisfactory. In spite of our efforts, we are fully aware that

x, we have merely skimmed the surface. May we add that, with solitary exceptions, this is practically a first attempt towards listing in any country the contents of private libraries? That

we have done so at all, in the face of some adverse criticism, :

is because we feel that, in the United States and Canada, private ownership of early manuscripts is essentially a transitory feature of book-collecting. Nearly all valuable manuscripts

in private hands are destined in the near future to become public property. Actually during the compilation of these lists, several important groups have been given or bequeathed to the

public and it is no secret that many others are more or less formally promised to various institutions. We therefore felt fully justified in including in our work private holdings and we are deeply grateful to the numerous collectors who have generously allowed us to list their possessions.

Considerable difference of opinion exists as to the later chronological limit of manuscripts to be included as “ early.” Medieval manuscripts proper are primarily those written before

the year 1500 and several authorities consulted by us were in favor of that terminus ad quem. Others, considering that

lower limit. : manuscripts of the early sixteenth century were hardly discern-

ible from those of the late fifteenth, suggested a slightly Acting on the assumption that a more liberal policy was always likely to meet with a wider response, we have — somewhat reluctantly — brought the time-limit down to A. D. 1600,

although we fully realize that much of the additional matter thus included is not of very great textual and historical value. This justifies the presence on our title-page of the words “‘ Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts.”

The term ‘‘ manuscripts ”’ includes written documents of every kind, with the sole exception of inscriptions on stone, metal or other hard substances. Letters, charters and deeds are

. XI

included, but as often as not are treated in groups. To have described them singly would have more than trebled the bulk of this work, without adding to its usefulness in anything like a corresponding manner.

Likewise, Greek and Latin papyri, as coming under an independent discipline and appealing to a special class of scho-

lars, have been reserved for separate treatment in a subsequent volume.

: Again, from similar motives, all Oriental manuscripts have been excluded from our survey, if only for the reason that adequate descriptions of them would have been impossible without the assistance of a whole additional staff of specialists.

The manuscripts are listed by libraries, and the libraries in the alphabetical order of cities in each State, the States in turn being dealt with in their alphabetical sequence. ‘This disposition, already familiar to the users of a number of American Govern-

ment publications, has been adopted as the most practical, although other arrangements might have been put forward. In each library the manuscripts have been numbered by us, except where they had already receivedan adequate numeration. Few American libraries have yet realized the usefulness of a

| distinct pratical numbering of their manuscripts,in spite of the obvious advantages of such systems, as proved by the constant

| experience of European librarians, ever since the end of the sixteenth century. The peculiar nature of most manuscripts makes them difficult or impossible to shelve according to the various “ decimal ” or other systems used for printed books in nearly all American libraries. The actual descriptions made by us of each manuscript are self-explanatory. We have endeavored to steer a middle-course between undue fullness and inadequate brevity, but we are well aware that it has not been possible to be entirely consistent. To

XII

describe in an absolutely satisfactory manner some six thousand items, would have required not four years, but forty. The present work is not a final catalogue, but as its very name indicates, a “ Census ” or survey; not a definitive description but a practical basis for future research.In many cases, we have been able to devote to a single manuscript onlyas many minutes

as we would have liked to spend hours and, in countless instances, our brief descriptionsare little more than a confession of our present ignorance of the nature of the manuscript listed. Our only justification for printing such an imperfect survey is

Carlyle’s incontrovertible dictum that “ the worst catalogue compiled by the hand of man isa great deal better than no

catalogue at all. ” ,

The point on which we have dwelt with what may seem to some scholars undue insistence is the previous history of each manuscript described. Every volume now in America was at one time in Europe and the chances are that it was seen there, studied there,collated there. It is often very difficult to identify a manuscript once seen in Europe with a volume now existing

in America and yet the task is a necessary one. In spite of considerable efforts, we believe that in this particular field much remains to be accompished and we shall feel gratified if we have been able to point the way towards further research.

In an additional volume we intend to place the necessary indices, as also a long and possibly uninspiring alphabetical

list of “ unlocated manuscripts.” It stands to reason that extremely few early manuscripts have been taken back to Europe from the United States. As a matter of fact, experts

suggest that not five per cent of the manuscripts sold by auction in America have again crossed the Atlantic. We have

therefore felt justified in including in an appendix the very numerous manuscripts of which we have found descriptions

| in American auction-catalogues, and of which we have failed to ascertain the present location. Pratically all these manu-

XII scripts must still be somewhere in America, and we are certain

that the very publication of our lists will lead to the discovery of a number of them.

In the same alphabet we expect to include the more or less summary descriptions of a certain number of manuscripts

belonging to various members of the American book-trade. It is quite obvious that most of these in the near future will be gradually absorbed by American purchasers and presumably by several of the libraries and collections actually listed in this Census. Weare very grateful to the various booksellers who have kindly allowed us to examine the items in their possession.

That we have been enabled, with any degree of success, to accomplish our proposed task is entirely due to the unselfish and unstinted cooperation which we have received from the entire country. Librarians, museum directors, private collectors, university professors, historians and bibliographers, have assisted us in every way in the most generous fashion, have supplied us with the most valuable information and have saved

us from innumerable pitfalls. It is quite impossible to name them all here, although we have endeavored, for each individual collection, to specify what actual help we have received in

our work. May we be allowed in this preface to express our _ deepest gratitude to all those who have assisted us in transform-

ing our lists into a work of national and even international importance.

May I also add in my own name the expression of my gratitude for the continual assistance given to me by Dr. W. J. Wilson. Not only has he taken over the whole task of the bulky correspondence necessitated by this enterprize, but also

by continually examining and revising every sheet of my manuscript has he done more than I can say to complete, correct and unify it in the most friendly and unselfish manner. He has also examined himself a very large number of manu-

XIV

scripts and contributed in many other ways to remove imper-

fections from this Census. :

Dr. Kenneth W. Clark, of Duke University,and Dr. Harold

R. Willoughby, of the University of Chicago, have placed at our disposal the entire results of their diligent inquiries on early manuscripts of the Greek New Testament existing in the United States. Dr.A.Van De Put,of the Victoria and Albert Museum, has given us the most painstaking and valuable assistance in describ-

ing and identifying the numerous heraldic bearings contained in the manuscripts listed. In spite of his efforts, much remains

to be done in this particular field, and we have left plenty of work for all our continuators. The present Census, as we realize only too well, is doomed to be an ephemeral publication. Year by year —we might almost say day by day -- the collections here~described will increase in bulk and in interest. Manuscripts will continually change location and our work will be doomed to imperfection

even before it leaves our hands. Nevertheless we feel that our efforts may have been of some service to the cause of science. No recognition will be more gratifying than the assurance that others will take to heart the continuation and improve-

ment of our Census. SEYMOUR DE RICCI.

THE FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY, WASHINGTON Administered by the Trustees of Amherst College, Amherst, Massachusetts

From about 1885, the late Henry Clay Folger, Junior (18571930), of New York, collected an extremely important library on Shakespeare and his times, which he decided, shortly before his death, to perpetuate as an educational institution by placing

it in Washington, in the immediate neighborhood of the Library of Congress and under the permanent administration of the Trustees of Amherst College. For some forty-five years, Mr. Folger, with the continual assistance of Mrs. Folger, had managed to secure, on the European and American markets, practically every available book,

manuscript, print, or document, having a direct or indirect bearing on Shakespeare or his times.

Among the more important sources from which he drew may be noted the Earl of Warwick’s Shakespeare collection, purchased entire in 1897; large portions of the Shakespeare

library formed for Pearson by W. C. Hazlitt (1899); the J. O. Halliwell-Phillipps collection of Shakespearean rarities, obtained in 1907 from Mr. Marsden J. Perry, of Providence; a further portion of Mr. Perry’s library, obtained from Rosenbach in 1919; and notable items from the W. A. White collection, of Brooklyn. From England he secured large and small series of material brought together by E. Williams, of Hove, N. M. Broadbent, and W. T. Smedley, in addition to notable portions of the Phillipps, Huth, and Britwell libraries, dispersed in various auction

268 WASHINGTON, D. C. sales, and innumerable single volumes or manuscripts obtained

from almost every English dealer. In the United States, his acquisitions were hardly less notable. _ The result of these extensive purchases is a library of some ninety thousand volumes, the sorting and classification of which

cannot be completed for several years, and the importance of | which for early English literature and history can hardly be overestimated.

_ That it is in any way possible to print here even a tentative survey of the earlier manuscripts comprizing, to adopt a general rule, all those prior to the death of James I, in 1625, is en-

tirely due to the industry and care with which Mr. and Mrs. Folger, during so many years, registered and indexed theit purchases.

Each manuscript here listed bears, for convenience’ sake, an accession-number by which it can easily be identified (the first number applying actually to the case in which each item was stored, with an additional number for each item in every case). This numbering enables the Library authorities to refer with ease to the voluminous correspondence and other documentation preserved for each item by Mr. and Mrs. Folger, with a patience and industry which other collectors might well take as a model.

The present list has been compiled under circumstances which preclude it from being more than a rough hand-list of the

earlier manuscripts in this vast collection. In drawing it up, under the courteous and helpful supervision of Mr. William Adams Slade, as Director, and of Dr. Joseph Quincy Adams, as Supervisor of Research, I have enjoyed the continual and extremely effective assistance of Dr. Giles E. Dawson, Reference Librarian, who has unselfishly placed at my disposal the useful

results of his own examination of a number of the manuscripts and who has checked my work during its entire progress, sending me most valuable information on several items which

THE FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY 269

I had not been able to examine myself, and completing and verifying my manuscript much to my benefit.

Users of this list will be wise not to forget its provisional nature. We are all looking forward to the fuller and more author-

itative catalogues which the Folger Library hopes to issue as soon as circumstances make it practicable.

Valuable general information will be found in the Report of the Director of the Folger Shakespeare Library for the year ending June 30, 1933 (Washington, 1933. 8°) and in The Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington (Amherst, 1933. 4°).

THE HALLIWELL RELIQUES When H. C. Folger purchased the Shakespearean library of the Earl of Warwick, he found in it the collection known as the “ Halliwell Shakespeare reliques ” described by the former owner in a very scarce catalogue : Some account of the antiguities, coins, manuscripts, rare books, ancient documents, and other

reliques tlustrative of the life and works of Shakespeare, in the possession of James Orchard Halliwell, Esq., F. R. S.

THE FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY 435 numbers of which have not been ascertained ina thoroughly satisfactory manner. For the sake of convenience, they have been entered hereafter as numbers 2068.1 to 2068.9; like-

fied in cat.). — Obtained (ca. 1912) from P. M. Barnard (Cat. 27, n. 27). — N. B. By combining information contained in the Celotti and Payne and Foss catalogues, it has been ascertained that the Plautus ms. described above

as in the collection of Mr. John D, Batchelder, Washington, was, as late as , May 1825, bound before other ms. matter including apparently Festus and _ Barzizius; it is tempting to consider the Ullman ms. here described as actually identical with part II of the Batchelder Plautus, which we find in the sale of Abate Celotti (London, 14 March 1825, n. 234) to Payne and Foss (Cat., May 1825, n. 36), who sold itto Rev.

THE LIBRARY AND MUSEUMS OF

THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, URBANA, ILLINOIS

Much to my regret, I have been unable to visit Urbana since 1918; at that date, there was hardly a manuscript in the University Library. Thanks to abundant information supplied by the local authorities and to the notes taken on the spot by W. J. Wilson, it has been possible to attempt at least a preliminary description of what is rapidly becoming an important collection of early manuscripts and documents. The following pages are almost entirely from the pen of W. J. Wilson. The western manuscripts belonging to the University of Illinois are housed in three different departments. ‘The Univer-

sity Library proper, directed by Prof. P. L. Windsor, has purchased or received by gift a number of manuscripts and a considerable amount of archive material. In the Museum of European Culture, the Curator, Professor Neil Conwell Brooks, has assembled a selection of illuminated manuscripts and single

decorated leaves, mainly chosen for their artistic interest. As for the Classical Museum, under the direction of Dr. A. S. Pease and more lately of Professor William A. Oldather, it has secured a number of Latin manuscripts of textual importance which, together with various Greek and Latin codices in the main library, have been discussed in various publications by members of the University. From the authorities in each of these departements we have received most cordial cooperation in preparing the follewing lists; but special acknowledgment should be made of the assistance of Mr. C. U. Faye, Cataloguer, who has supplied us with full descriptions of each manuscript and has checked for us numerous point of detail.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 697 In 1913 the University purchased the library of Richard Aron (1854-1912), for many years a teacher at Berlin and a keen collector of books on education, mainly in Germany : he owned a few manuscripts. Others were acquired in 1918 with the forty thousand books and pamphlets brought together by Julius Doerner, of Chicago. In the following list, the numbers between parentheses are shelf-marks in the University Library; numbers preceded by MEC refer to the accession-list of the Museum of European culture; numbers preceded by MCA indicate manuscripts in the Classical Museum; the bulk of the archive material has not yet received a proper numbering for each individual item.

THE CAVAGNA COLLECTION In 1921 was obtained in Italy, from the late collector’s representatives, the important historical and topographical library of Conte Antonio Cavagna Sangiuliani di Gualdana (1843-1914) containing over forty thousand books and pamphlets and. several thousand manuscript documents — originals and transcripts — of which the earliest go back to 1116. The manuscript portion comprizes 138 packages of unbound

documents, alphabetically arranged under:places by Conte Cavagna himself, usually with an Italian summary of each item.

There are also some 290 bound volumes of manuscript material (only 6 earlier than 1600), about 60 volumes containing printed and manuscript material mixed (some §o items earlier than 1600) and about 100 volumes of later transcripts from various Italian archives.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 711 The collection was well known to Italian scholars, as the owner had made use of it himself in his Studi storict, | (Milan 1870, 8°), in his book on L’agro vogherese (Casorate Primo, 1890, 8°), and in his catalogue of Szatuti riuniti ed indicati (vols. I-I], A-C and D-M. Pavia, 1907. 4°, 106 and 317 pp., 5 pl., no more printed, but some ms. material extant). Further information is available in a special pamphlet : Manoscritti riguardanti la storia nobiliare italiana : biblioteca Cavagna Sangiultani in Zelada, catalogo sommario edito dal raccoglitore (Rome, 1907. 8°), 30 pp., and in Azvista araldica, IV (1906), pp. 630-651; cf. also Salvioni, Boll. della Soc. Pavese di storia patria, II (1902), pp. 193-251; La Bibliofilia, XXVI (1924-1925), p. 150 (on certain mss. purchased in 1923 for the

Brera Library, Milan); Miss Meta M. Sexton, Zhe Cavagna library at the University of Illinois, in Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, XIX, 1 (1925), pp. 66-72. At Urbana, the cataloguing and indexing of this important collection has been steadily continued by Miss Meta M. Sex-

ton who has supplied us with valuable information. For the period between 1116 and 1500 there are 47 original unbound documents, and 70 others for the xvit» century. For the same

period, the unbound documents on paper are even more numerous and to these should be added a considerable quantity of similar material contained in the bound volumes referred to above.

It is not yet possible to print a more detailed account of this valuable collection; but duplicates of Miss Sexton’s indices are preserved in the Library of Congress for the use of any scholars who may need them.
