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, taking
over a decade to complete. 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. The second
volume completes the coverage of London printers and lists books
printed in other English cities, most notably Oxford, Cambridge and
Norwich.
