Cambridge University Library houses a vast and internationally
important collection of manuscripts, from early medieval
illustrated bibles to personal papers and administrative records of
the university. These volumes, first published between 1856 and
1867, contain the first published catalogue of the manuscripts held
by the University Library. Edited by Henry Richards Luard
(1825-91), Registrary of the University, these volumes provide
detailed descriptions of the manuscript collection of the
University Library as it was in the mid-nineteenth century.
Information on the appearance, condition, age and provenance of the
manuscripts is provided, together with accounts of their contents,
to provide a practical and highly detailed guide to this
fascinating collection. Volume 4 describes classmarks Ll.1-Oo.7,
containing ecclesiastical biographies from the thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries, collections of legal statutes from the
fourteenth century, sixteenth-century magical texts and
fourteenth-century Latin translations of Avicenna's Canones.
