MICHIGAN

THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

| ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN When I first visited the University of Michigan, in 1918, the library contained only two or three early manuscripts,

The present importance of the collection (apart from the collection of some six thousand papyri, which we hope to

describe later) is due to the energy of the late Professor Francis W. Kelsey and of the present librarian, Dr. William Warner Bishop. _ During my work at Ann Arbor every facility and assistance

was given to me, and the curator of manuscripts and papyri,

Mrs. Elinor M. Husselman, has completed my notes with valuable information supplied in the kindest manner. I also owe several useful corrections to Prof. Henry A. Sanders. * 1. Biblia. Vel. (x1iits c.), 310 ff. (24 X17 cm.). Imperfect. Pro-

In 1550, both his grandfathers were dead; nepos means therefore nephew, not grandson. The person to whom the ms. is dedicated may well be Henry’s uncle, Edward Hastings, Lord Hastings of Loughborough, who died in 1573.

THE LIBRARY OF PRINCETON UNIVERSITY,

PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY

The collection of manuscripts in the Library at Princeton owes much to various alumni of the University and above all

to the knowledge and generosity of the late Mr. Junius S. Morgan, a great connoisseur and a great lover of books.

The study of palaeography has been further promoted at Princeton by the loan for considerable periods of a large por-

tion of the manuscripts belonging to Mr. Robert Garrett of Baltimore, whose main object in depositing them in the library

was to make them available for study by members of the University. On the Garrett deposit at Princeton, cf. [C. R. Morey], Special exhibits in the Princeton University Library, 1926, LL: History of the art of illumination (Princeton, 1916. 8°), 111-7 pp.

THE FRICK ART REFERENCE LIBRARY,

| 6 EAST SEVENTY-FIRST STREET, NEW YORK CITY

THE LIBRARY OF

THE GRAND LODGE OF FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS,

71 WEST TWENTY-THIRD STREET, NEW YORK Mr. J. C. Hartman, in charge of Library Service, quotes the following froma description of the one medieval manuscript in their possession : “‘ The rarest and most valuable item of this collection is a parchment, some fourteen inches by three, a receipt in his own

handwriting, written by one Je Estienne Gaudin, an Operative Master Mason in the Duchy of Orléans, France, to acknowledge receipt of money for work done. The wax seal, which is still attached, is stamped with the Square and Compasses, the oldest existing specimen, unless we are misinform-

ed, now in existence. The date is 1414. When it is recalled that the most ancient of all known Masonic manuscripts is the Regius Poem of about 1390, it will be seen that this Masonic receipt, written only twenty-four years later, is indeed

a very rare item. ”

THE LIBRARY OF

THE HISPANIC SOCIETY OF AMERICA, 155-156 STREET AND BROADWAY, NEW YORK The Hispanic Society of America, founded in 1904, en-

dowed and maintained by the generosity of Mr. Archer M. Huntington, owns a valuable and extensive collection of manuscripts and documents relating to Spain, of which no printed catalogue is yet available.

We had hoped to be able to include in our Census at least a preliminary account of this collection; we deeply regret that circumstances over which we had no control have prevented the present publication of any sort of adequate survey of the early manuscripts owned by the Hispanic Society.

All we have been able to do in these pages, is to list a few manuscripts which have actually been described in various publications, nearly all issued by the Society itself. Missale Tarraconense. Vel. (early xvi» c.), 432 ff. (36X25 cm.). Probably written in Spain. Illum. initials and borders. Italian vellum half-binding, ca. 1850. Apparently comes from the Cathedral at Tarragona. — Obtained in 1907 from Quaritch. It is in this manuscript that the late Dom E. S. Buchanan declared that he had, in 1916, detected a remarkable palimpsest; the older writing, as deci-

phered by him, contained an extremely ancient text of the Latin Gospels, with unknown readings, to say the least extremely startling. He was about to print his discovery in an elaborate edition prepared by a New York publisher (the proof-sheets are actually in the British Museum!) when the Hispanic Society, somewhat anxious, consulted several authorized experts. They pronounced the “ readings ” to be impossible and E. A. Lowe, as early as 1917, declared that the manuscript was not a palimpsest. His verdict was con-

firmed in every way by S. de Ricci’s examination of the original in 1923: FE. S. Buchanan had obviously been deceived by fairly numerous very faint

THE HISPANIC SOCIETY 1293 offsets from one page to another, which had happened while the sheets of the manuscript were still unbound and not quite dry. In spite of every warning, E. S. Buchanan persisted in his views and issued on the subject a certain number of small pamphlets, etc., of which the following list, although not exhaustive, may prove useful, if only as a caution to the uninformed reader.

THE COLLECTION OF ROBERT LEHMAN,

7 WEST FIFTY-FOURTH STREET, NEW YORK

Mr. Robert Lehman has formed with infinite patience and

excellent judgment one of the finest collections of single leaves existing in any country, illustrating with particular brilliancy the early Italian schools of illumination. He has given us most valuable assistance in dating and classifying his miniatures, of which a short account has been printed by Helen Comstock, The Robert Lehman collection of miniatures, in International Studio, April 1927, pp. 47-57, 1 pl. and 8 fig.

It should be born in mind that considerable doubt still exists for any unprejudiced connoisseur as to the accuracy of most ascriptions of these single leaves to any given school or

city. A careful scrutiny of the attributions here given would doubtless compel Mr. Lehman and myself to reconsider them in many instances. The classification of this list is chronological; the prefixed numbers refer to Mr. Lehman’s photographs of his miniatures.

isn. XV in Miss Latham’s transcript. .

1732 NEW YORK CITY 15. Sir Walter Ralegh, Autogr. letter signed (31 Oct. 15...), to Sir John Gilbert the Younger. Edwards list, n. 13 ; Latham, n. XI.

16. Sir Walter Ralegh, Autogr. letter signed (16 March 1582),

to Sir Humfrey Gilbert. Edwards list, n. 11; Latham, n. I. ,

17. Sir Walter Ralegh, Autogr. letter signed (1 May 159..), to Sir John Gilbert the Younger. Edwards list, n. 12; Latham, n. VII.

18. Sir Walter Ralegh, Autogr. letter signed (n. d.), to Sir John Gilbert the Younger. Edwards list, n. 8; Latham, n. XIII.

19. Sir Walter Ralegh, Autogr. letter signed (13 Sept. 1588), to Sir John Gilbert the Younger. Edwards list, n. 5; Latham, n. III. These five letters are inlaid (with other autograph material here described)

in an extra-illustrated copy of P. F. Tytler, Life of Sir Walter Raleigh (Edinburgh, 1832), extended to 3 vols. folio, bound for John Dillon, by M. M. Holloway, in brown mor. They formed (perhaps with the letter described above) part ofa collection of fourteen Ralegh letters inherited from the addressees by Major Pomeroy Gilbert,

of Plymouth, who owned them ca. 1750, and who allowed Rev. Thomas Birch to transcribe three of them (Br. Mus., add. 4231, ff. 85-86). They belonged a little later to Thomas Brand Hollis aud to an unknown possessor, who offered them to the Edinburgh publisher Archibald Constable, accord-

ing to a descriptive list owned by E. E(dwards), Letters of Sir Walter Raleigh, in Notes and Queries, 4, 11 (1868), pp. 561-562 [== E. Edwards, The life of Sir Walter Ralegh, 1868, II, pp. Ixxi-Ixxvi]. One at least of them belonged

before 1840 to Macvey Napier, of The Edinburgh Review (see his paper in Edinb. Rev., LXXI, 1840, pp. 1-98, reprinted in his Lord Bacon and Sir Walter Raleigh, Cambridge, 1853. 12°). We have every reason to believe that this

series is identical with an album of thirteen letters by Ralegh, stated to be addressed to Sir John Gilbert, bound in olive mor., in a sale by Evans (London, 16 July 1832, n. 436) to Bohn, resold P. A. Hanrott sale (London, 20 Feb. 1834, III, n. 2060) to Thorpe. The album must have been taken to pieces soon after, as we find five (and possibly six) letters from it in the John Dillon sale (London, 7 June 1869, n. 487) to Holloway; Alfred Morrison sale (London, 5 May 19109, IV, n. 3059) to G. D. Smith.

CARL H. PFORZHEIMER (1733 Thanks to W. A.

THE LIBRARY OF

| THE LATE GEORGE A. PLIMPTON, 61 PARK AVENUE, NEW YORK

The collection of early manuscripts formed by the late Mr. George A. Plimpton is one of the most extensive and most interesting existing in private or public possession in

the whole of America. ,

The owner had been closely associated for so many years with educational and publishing activities that it is hardly surprising to find his tastes reflected in his collections. The textual interest of his manuscripts is mainly educational, taking the word in its broadest sense: they include books of every description made for or used by scholars, students and teachers, from the earliest times to the present day, éspecial stress being laid on the history of reading, of writing and of mathematics, the English-speaking countries being partic-

ularly well represented. In every way, it may be called a classical and didactic collection, offering almost unlimited scope

for historical and literary research. It has been announced (New York Times, 22 July 1936) that the educational portion of the Plimpton Library had been

given by the late collector to Columbia University, New York.

Dr. Hellmut Lehmann-Haupt, Curator of the Rare Book Department of Columbia University Library, has taken in

hand the classification of the Plimpton books and manuscripts. His careful revision of our descriptions has in many instances completed and corrected our information. He has discovered in the collection a certain number of manuscripts which Mr. Plimpton had apparently omitted to show us and

1754 NEW YORK CITY which are described from notes kindly supplied by Miss Anne M. Nill.

Several of his Latin grammatical manuscripts have been described by Mr. Plimpton himself in an interesting paper, Grammatical manuscripts and early printed grammars in the Plimpton library, in Transactions of the American Philological Association, LXIV (1933), pp. 150-178, pl. II-IV.

The mathematical portion of the Plimpton library is described by David Eugene Smith, Rara arithmetica, a catalogue

of the arithmetics written before the year MDCI with a description of those in the library of George Arthur Plimpton of New York (Boston and London, Ginn & Co., 1908. 8°, xvi507 pp., IX pl. and 246 fig.; mss., pp. 433-494), which should

be completed by an address from the pen of George A. Plimpton, The history of mathematics in the Plimpton library, in Science, LX VIII (26 Oct. 1928), pp. 390-395.

Valuable information on Mr. Plimpton’s manuscripts, with

numerous facsimiles, are to be found in his two charming volumes, The Education of Shakespeare, illustrated from the

schoolbooks in use in his time (London and New York, Oxford University Press, 1933. 12°), ix-140 pp., and The Education of Chaucer... (1935. 12°), X-176 pp.
