M. R. James (1862-1936) is probably best remembered as a writer of
chilling ghost stories, but he was an outstanding scholar of
medieval literature and palaeography, who served both as Provost of
King's College, Cambridge, and as Director of the Fitzwilliam
Museum, and many of his stories reflect his academic background.
His detailed descriptive catalogues of manuscripts owned by
colleges, cathedrals and museums are still of value to scholars
today. James' catalogue of the manuscript holdings of Emmanuel
College was first published in 1904. Now reissued, it will be
welcomed by librarians and researchers alike.
