An erudite and popular librarian, Charles Edward Sayle (1864-1924)
devoted his career to cataloguing and editing rare books in the
University of Cambridge. His obituary praised him as 'a fine
example of the type of man who likes to catalogue things in the
right order'. This catalogue of incunabula and early printed books
in the University Library was his most important project.
Commissioned by the Library Syndicate in 1894, the catalogue was
published in four volumes between 1900 and 1907. Even upon
completion, Sayle's list was not final, as the rare book
collections at the Library were undergoing a period of great
expansion, having grown by a third during his cataloguing work,
both through purchases and by donations or bequests. This final
volume indexes the books by author, printer, engraver, and place of
printing, and includes a list of notable titles of particular
artistic, musical or bibliographical interest.
