Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was a student of Magdalene College,
Cambridge, and bequeathed his personal library of 3000 volumes to
the College on condition that the contents remained intact and
unaltered; they remain there, in his original bookcases, to this
day. In the early twentieth century, a project to produce a
complete catalogue was begun, and four volumes were published
between 1914 and 1940. Volume 3 lists 51 volumes of medieval
manuscripts, some of them consisting of several items bound
together. The author, the outstanding palaeographer and prolific
writer of catalogues M. R. James, remarks on the almost total
absence of Latin liturgical and theological manuscripts, and calls
attention to the historical, literary and scientific writings in
English and French, several picture-books, an interesting
'scrapbook' and a unique copybook from 1400 included in Pepys'
collection. This book continues to be a valuable resource for
medievalists and Pepys scholars alike.
