Catalogue of the Pepys Library at Magdalene College Cambridge

      Boydell & Brewer Ltd - Pepys's library has been, as he directed, preserved intact at his old Cambridge college since 1724. Between 1978 and 1994 a complete catalogue was published for the first time. The present title, essential to all users of the firs t volume in that series, N.A. Smith's Printed Books vastly enhances the range of information available. The short-title arrangement of Printed Books is replaced by a numerical listing which follows the library's she lf-order; many entries have been extended, and where possible updated with reference to new scholarship; the location of MSS and other material treated elsewhere in the catalogue is also indicated, providing for the first time a p ublished conspectus of the whole library. Extensive indexes have been provided for authors and ancillary contributors, subjects, printers and places of publication, and references which reflect Pepys himself and his bibliophilism. Concordances identify the Pepys books covered by STC, Wing, ESTC and other bibliographies. Dr CHARLES KNIGHTON gained his Ph D from Magdalene College, Cambridge. Condition: Brand new (not pre-owned). Binding: Sewn hardback Year first printed: 2004. ISBN: 9781843840046. Volume in series: 1 [Attributes: Hard Cover]
