Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

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 as Provost of
King's College, Cambridge, and Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum,
and later became Provost of Eton College. His detailed descriptive
catalogues of manuscripts owned by colleges, cathedrals and museums
are still of value to scholars today. James worked with the Lambeth
Librarian Claude Jenkins on this catalogue, first published in five
parts between 1930 and 1932, of the important manuscript collection
begun by Archbishop Bancroft in the early seventeenth century.
Building on James' handlist of medieval manuscripts in the library,
published in 1900 and also reissued in this series, it gives full
descriptions of the manuscripts including their contents,
decoration, provenance and history. Volume 1 of this two-volume
reissue contains Parts 1 3, covering manuscripts 1 357.
