This volume is a survey of libraries in Britain and Ireland up to
the Civil War. It traces the transition from collections of books
without a fixed local habitation to the library, chiefly of printed
books, much as we know it today. It examines changing patterns in
the formation of book collections in the earlier medieval period,
traces the combined impact of the activities of the mendicant
orders and the scholarship of the universities in the thirteenth
and fourteenth centuries, and the adoption of the library room and
the growth of private book collections in the fourteenth and
fifteenth. The volume then focuses upon the dispersal of the
monastic libraries in the mid-sixteenth centuries, the creation of
new types of library, and finally, the steps whereby the
collections amassed by antiquaries came to form the bases of the
national and institutional libraries of Britain and Ireland.
