This catalogue describes MSS 1-247 and 298 in the Chapter Library
of Lincoln Cathedral, plus ten former Lincoln MSS now elsewhere.
About half of the MSS were part of the cathedral's medieval
Library; nearly all the rest came there before the late seventeenth
century. Among the MSS, which date from the eighth to the early
sixteenth century, are biblical commentaries and sermons, works of
pastoral theology and an important corpus of Middle English texts,
including the famous Thornton Romances. A group of MSS written at
the Cathedral c.1100 is notable for its distinctive decoration. The
Catalogue is preceded by a history of the Cathedral Library, based
on the rich documentary evidence, which includes two medieval
catalogues. The plates illustrate bindings, ownership marks,
important decoration and noteworthy script, including samples from
all signed and dated books.
