Preface and Acknowledgments
Some time in 1967 Professor f. David Hoeniger, esteemed Shakespeare scholar and shortly to become General Editor of the Revels Plays, decided to try to find out as much as he could about the libraries and book collecting of noted English poets of the late sixteenth century. Professor Hoeniger was then Director of the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies at Victoria University in the University of Toronto, and he was looking for research projects that would engage the interest of the graduate students who were fellows of the Centre. “What,” he asked Germaine Warkentin, “do we know about the books of Sir Philip Sidney? Why don’t you see what you can discover?” Warkentin was working on a thesis on the cultural background in Italian poetry of Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella and was eager for an assignment like this. Months later, however, she returned disconsolate: there was almost nothing known about the books of Sir Philip Sidney. His will directed that they be given to his friends fulke Greville and Edward Dyer, but any attempt to search further produced no results. Sixteen years later in 1984, now a professor herself and about to take up a different Sidney project, she was reminded by the bibliographer nicolas Barker, editor of The Book Collector, to be sure to visit the family papers of William Sidney, Lord De L’Isle, on deposit in the Kent archives. It took only a few hours of work to discover among them an extensive catalogue of the early modern library at Penshurst Place, home of the Sidneys, and only a few more in the British Library to reveal that it had been barely mentioned in the historical literature and never studied in detail. Permission was obtained, an editorial project mapped out, funding sought, and colleagues invited to take part. But of course, this was not the catalogue of Sir Philip Sidney’s library. Rather, it took the investigating team into the library history of the seventeenth century, when Sir Philip’s brother Robert, first earl of Leicester of the second creation, but more especially that earl’s son Robert, the second earl, assembled an unusually large and eclectic family library. The catalogue was
full not only of the learned theological, political, scientific, mathematical, and historical works on which the Sidneys could draw for their commonplace books, but also courtesy books, cookbooks, military manuals, plays, poetry, contemporary gossip, and tracts and pamphlets of all kinds. To judge by the dates of the books it listed, the manuscript was begun in late 1652. It was copied from we know not what original by a young member of the second earl’s household, Gilbert Spencer, who would remain tangled in the lives of the Sidneys for five decades. further additions by Spencer and others continued to be made until 1665. The 5,798 entries document one of the larger libraries possessed by a magnate family of the period: about 4,500 titles in about 4,800 volumes. Sadly, the books themselves had been auctioned or otherwise dispersed by 1743 and were now scattered to the bibliographical winds, but there was much information about them in the family letters and accounts. As we unravelled the catalogue’s often frustratingly brief, opaque, and sometimes mistranscribed entries, we naturally asked ourselves if any titles owned by the sixteenth-century Sidneys, Sir Henry and Sir Philip, were still at Penshurst in 1652. But we also wondered what happened to the books of the women of Penshurst, especially Sir Philip’s sister, the Countess of Pembroke and his niece Lady Mary Wroth; tried to find out where in Penshurst Place the Sidneys kept their growing collection; puzzled over why and how the collection was sold; and especially tried to locate the books that are still extant today. The task has taken nearly thirty years, and this edition marks the culmination of what became a long-term collaborative enterprise. Many fellow scholars, librarians, graduate students, friends, bibliophiles, and booksellers have aided us in telling the story of the great library at Penshurst Place, but our most important debt is to the late William Sidney VC, KG, first Viscount De L’Isle, who graciously gave us permission to edit the catalogue and provided much help in the early stages of research, before his death in 1991. We owe an equal debt to his son Philip Sidney,

The Library of the Sidneys of Penshurst Place
MBE, DL, second Viscount De L’Isle, who has generously continued his father’s support as the “Penshurst Project” continued over the years. Particular thanks are also owing to Professor f. David Hoeniger and to nicolas Barker, oBE, fBA, who have remained warm friends and mentors of the project from its inception. Indeed, what began as an edition has proved to be a long-term stimulus for other research on the Sidneys, their intellectual life, their material culture, and their milieu. The editorial team has regularly published papers, given conference papers and panels, mentored the production of papers and research by others, and even held two conferences to communicate results. Between the announcement of the project of editing the catalogue in 1985 and the very week the final manuscript was submitted, we have answered inquiries from scholars and graduate students all over the world about the Sidneys’ reading and often learned more from them than they learned from us. We have many debts to acknowledge. In particular, Germaine Warkentin, as leader of the Penshurst Project, would like to pay tribute to the essential contribution of her two co-editors. William R. Bowen joined the Penshurst Project in 1986 as research associate, mapping out the database we developed as the edition – in those dark times initiated on paper – moved into the digital age. He conducted the initial bibliographical work, contributed to the development of our early policies and practices, and coordinated and supervised the work of the graduate assistants who were then part of the project. Dr Bowen took up a tenure-stream position in 1992 but has remained part of the team as a valued adviser, and I am grateful for his continuing commitment to the edition and the research it has engendered. Joseph L. Black joined the Penshurst project in 1991, with responsibility for bibliographical work, research coordination, policy, and scholarly outreach. His editing of the major portion of the catalogue itself has been of vital importance, and he is co-author of the Introduction. The resulting edition reflects Dr Black’s sustained contribution over two decades, for which I owe him much thanks. Several individuals and groups have made specific contributions to the edition for which we are grateful. When the project began, Edward D. English undertook the heavy task of preparing a preliminary transcription of the manuscript’s 219 pages. Mark nicholls carried out essential early research in a number of English archives. Martha Kurtz worked on the De L’Isle papers over several summers spent in the Centre for Kentish Studies at Maidstone. Kim Kippen and later John C. Parsons entered research results in our developing database. nancy McElwee combed the extant Sidney
family accounts of the period for information about book purchases. Diana Patterson uncovered much detail about the 1743 sale. To Susie West we owe a special debt; we asked her as a specialist in the architectural heritage of libraries to solve the problem of where in Penshurst Place the Sidneys kept their books, and she succeeded in fixing the location of the seventeenth-century library. Elisabeth Leedham-Green provided important assistance at a critical juncture. Michael Brennan and noel Kinnamon read and commented on a “gamma” version of the complete catalogue text. At a late date, Jacqueline Glomski read the entire catalogue from beginning to end and corrected the Latin of a number of our verifications. Alexandra f. Johnston and her colleagues at the Records of Early English Drama (REED), our sister project at Victoria University in the University of Toronto, made themselves available for consultation on matters palaeographical and archival. Takamichi Ariga provided vital computer assistance during the last decade of the project. Warm thanks are also owing to the many Sidney scholars who have assisted us over the years by generously sharing their own knowledge of the life and work of the members of the Sidney family, in particular Gavin Alexander, Michael Brennan, Lisa Celovsky, Joel Davis, Elizabeth Goldring, Margaret Hannay, Thomas Herron, the late noel Kinnamon, Roger Kuin (whose edition of Sir Philip Sidney’s Correspondence appeared in 2012), Hilary Maddicott, Anne Lake Prescott, Robert Shephard, and Robert Stillman. In addition, the members of several electronic discussion lists have answered pressing questions at critical moments: the Sidney-Spenser list, fICIno (the list of the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies), H-Albion (British History), and for countless bibliographical queries SHARP-L and ExLibris. no project of this size and length can take place without the assistance of a multitude of archivists and librarians. Chief among these must be our friends at the Kent History and Library Centre (formerly the Centre for Kentish Studies) in Maidstone, where so many Sidney scholars continue to work. We are grateful to nigel yates, the late Kathleen Topping, Patricia Rowsby, the late Donald Gibson, Helen orme, Stuart Birge, and the many other staff members who have been so helpful over the years. for essential assistance over a long period of time we are grateful to librarians and staff at the British Library, oxford’s Bodleian Library, the University of Toronto Library, and the Thomas fisher Rare Book Library at the University of Toronto. In addition, throughout our three decades the staff of the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies has given support in uncounted ways.

Thomas Luongo, Suzanne Marra, Philip S. Palmer, Keith Pang, and Elias Polizoes. Any errors or omissions in the volume are entirely our responsibility. Some of the material in the Introduction and the text of the catalogue was published earlier in various journals. However, it has been much revised and updated since that time, and is almost entirely superseded by this edition. Between 1986 and 1996 the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada generously funded our research on the library catalogue. In addition Victoria College’s Senate Research Committee provided travel funds to Germaine Warkentin, and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, awarded Joseph Black research funds for his work on the edition.

Introduction
Late in 1586 Edmund Molyneux, secretary to the recently deceased Sir Henry Sidney (1529–86), composed a memoir of his master for insertion in the enlarged version of Holinshed’s Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland just then on the press. In it he praised Sir Henry’s custodianship as Queen Elizabeth’s Lord Justice in Ireland and later her Lord Deputy. Sidney had “found hir majesties records laid as it were in an open place, whither anie man … might come that would, not defended, but subject to wind, raine and all kind of weather.” Sidney, “with great care and diligence,” caused them “to be perused and sorted, and prepared an apt place within the castell of Dubline, well trimmed and boorded with a chimneie in the roome.” He also made sure the records were put in order, preparing “fit & convenient places and severall divisions to laie them apart, according to their severall natures, and appointed one of discretion and skill to looke to them.”1 A hundred and sixty years later Sir Henry’s great-great-great grandson Jocelin (1692?– 1743), the eccentric seventh and last of the Sidney earls of Leicester, found himself the unhappy custodian of the family library that in the intervening years had also been collected at the Sidneys’ estate, Penshurst Place in Kent. The aggressive London bookseller Thomas osborne had made an offer for the books which was far from tempting, but ailing and hard-pressed by his creditors, Jocelin in october of 1742 confessed to his solicitor Edmund Byron, “What to do with the books I can’t tell … I have neither Eyes, nor time, to read
them.”2 By January of 1743 the books of the Sidneys were being auctioned, and the family’s library room – as we shall see, it too was “well trimmed and boorded” – was emptied, in due course to be transformed into a picture gallery by William Perry, husband of Jocelin’s niece Elizabeth, co-heir with her sister Mary. The history of the Sidney family’s early modern collections is encompassed by these two moments, one expressing the systematizing energy of a vigorous Elizabethan administrator, the other the exhaustion of an ill and confused minor Whig peer.3 By the time of earl Jocelin, book collections were regarded by established custom as legal “heirlooms” to be passed from one generation to the next. But despite the wishes of the second earl – clearly expressed in his will of 1665 – by 1743 the Sidneys’ extensive library had simply become property whose monetary value was available to be realized at a time of financial difficulty. The library Jocelin gave up to the auctioneer had been assembled at Penshurst largely by his great grandfather, Robert, second earl of Leicester (1595–1677) between 1618 and 1665, but it also included the books of Leicester’s father, Robert Sidney the first earl (1563– 1626), poet, soldier, and courtier. Though the history of reading in the Sidney family stretches backward to Sir Henry in the sixteenth century and forward to five later earls of Leicester, the library was chiefly assembled by the first and second earls, and detailed knowledge of it comes to us because in the early 1650s the second earl set a young man of his household, Gilbert Spencer,
1 Holinshed, Chronicles (1587), III, 1549. 2 CKS U908 L28/18[1] and [2], Jocelin Sidney to Edmund Byron, 29 oct. 1742 (two letters of the same date, copies with overlapping contents). 3 A hazard of those who write about the Sidneys is the profusion of similar first names, even to the present day: Henry, Philip, William, and Robert appear again and again, often with changing titles attached. Thus Robert Sidney the poet successively becomes Lord Lisle and then the first Sidney earl of Leicester; he is not to be confused with his uncle Robert, the Dudley earl of Leicester of the previous century. Robert Sidney’s son, also Robert, was the second Sidney earl of Leicester, but was known as Lord Lisle in the financial records of his book-buying youth. There are two Marys and two Dorothys among earlier Sidneys, and three different Elizabeths in the eighteenth century (Algernon and Jocelin were Percy names and enter the picture after the second earl’s marriage into that family). See figure 1 for a selected genealogical table.

to work making a list of the more than 4,200 titles then in his possession. The Library of the Sidneys of Penshurst Place circa 1665 is an edition of Spencer’s catalogue. The manuscript of the catalogue, which is fully described below, in the Textual Introduction, still belongs to the Sidney family and is today on deposit with other family papers in the Kent History and Library Centre in Maidstone. In the decades after Sir Henry’s Dublin sweep the Sidneys accumulated extensive papers of their own, and despite some losses they have
proved an important resource for later scholars.4 Early in the twentieth century Philip, third Lord De L’Isle and Dudley (1853–1922), ensured the collection’s future as a coherent body by entrusting it to England’s Historical Manuscripts Commission (HMC) whence in 1969 it was transferred on deposit to the archives of the county of Kent.5 In the inventory appearing in the first of the 6-volume HMC calendar of the deposit (1925– 66), the library catalogue is listed as item 1100,6 but unlike the estate documents and the Sidneys’ extensive

Introduction
correspondence it was not described in subsequent volumes, and until the 1980s it went unnoticed by scholars.7 In 1984 we initiated an edition of Gilbert Spencer’s manuscript with the permission of William, first Viscount De L’Isle (1909–91), and the project has continued since his death with the support of Philip, second viscount (1945–). The contents of the manuscript illuminate the intellectual and domestic interests of a family closely involved in English literature and politics from the 1550s to the 1670s, indeed longer if we take into account the less literary Sidneys who followed, whether the art-loving Philip, the third earl (1619–98), or the unfortunate Jocelin. Additional documents such as purchase records and commonplace books preserve their engagement with the many-volumed sets, folios, quartos, books in small formats, and bound pamphlets that Spencer’s manuscript lists in solemn alphabetical order. Lord Leicester was very proud of his collection: in a commonplace book entry drawn from his copy of Hugo Grotius, Mare liberum, he wrote with satisfaction of his books on the law of the sea that with “franciscus de Ingenuis” (i.e., Paolo Sarpi), William Welwood, and Hugo Grotius, “I have them all.”8 nevertheless, the catalogue cannot supply answers to all our questions about the books of the Sidneys. It records what was very much a Penshurst library; Spencer was listing books that belonged to a specific place as much as they belonged to the individual Sidneys who assembled them. Thus Sir Philip Sidney, distinguished poet and the family’s greatest notable, during the dozen active years of his short life almost never lived at Penshurst, and though we can infer a good deal about his reading from that of his brother Robert, the first earl, it is uncertain that any of his books are in the catalogue, and those he actually owned are not easy to trace. The same is true of the books both of Philip’s learned sister Mary, countess of Pembroke, and their niece the poet Lady Mary Wroth, who would normally have taken their collections to their new homes when they married. The library’s many volumes of republican political theory were evidently well used by Algernon Sidney, the second earl’s republican son,9 but Algernon himself left no mark on the library beyond the gift to his father of a copy of Sforza Pallavicino’s Istoria del Concilio di Trento (1656–7), sent in 1660 from Rome. notwithstanding these limitations, the catalogue docu-
5
ments the presence at mid-seventeenth-century Penshurst of more than 4,200 titles, a rich resource for our understanding of the Sidney earls of Leicester, of their reading and collecting among the books of the period, and of the various ways they housed and used them. With its related documents the catalogue makes it possible to trace the historical trajectory followed by a major early modern English library: from its casual inception, to its dignity as a noble collection, to its eventual dispersal into the book market of a later era. The Sidneys of Penshurst The Sidneys came to Penshurst, a fortified house of the fourteenth century, in 1552. Sir William Sidney (ca 1482–1554) was a prosperous landowner in Sussex and Surrey, a military leader who had fought at flodden, and a courtier connected by marriage with the Brandons, dukes of Suffolk. He was also close to the throne: in 1538 he became lord chamberlain to the heir, Prince Edward, and his son Henry was appointed one of the prince’s companions or “henchmen.” In 1553 the boy king, who succeeded to the throne in 1547, would die in Henry’s arms. In 1552 Sir William was given Penshurst Place in Kent to add to his increasing landholdings. The poet Ben Jonson – for a brief period possibly tutor to Robert Sidney’s elder son William10 – would apostrophize the solid old house in one of his finest poems, “To Penshurst” (ca 1611). Jonson’s vision of the house makes it a metaphor for his idealized portrait of the Sidneys as perfected representatives of their class:11 … though thy walls be of the country stone, They are reared with no man’s ruin, no man’s groan, There’s none, that dwell about them, wish them down; But all come in, the farmer, and the clown: And no one empty-handed, to salute Thy lord and lady, though they have no suit. …. now, Penshurst, they that will proportion thee With other edifices, when they see Those proud, ambitious heaps, and nothing else, May say, their lords have built, but thy lord dwells. (“To Penshurst,” 43–50, 99–102)

Penshurst Place itself still stands, the largest private house in Kent and an archetype of the English gentry family home and the values it has for centuries evoked. When the Sidneys established themselves in Kent they slowly began to accumulate books, a library that Anthony Wood, in 1671, would describe as “seven score years in collecting.”12 nevertheless, even as Gilbert Spencer began work on the catalogue many of the earlier Sidneys’ books had left Penshurst, and today only about two dozen even of the second earl’s large collection can be traced. The making of the catalogue was thus fortunate for our understanding of the way in which this magnate family acquired and used the books that fed their intellectual life.

The Penshurst Library Catalogue The catalogue Gilbert Spencer copied out in late 1652 or early 1653 consisted of 4,927 entries; over the following twelve years, another 871 entries were added on the facing pages left blank for the purpose, for a total of 5,798. Cross-references provide 1,447 entries. However, it is difficult to be as precise about the number of separately published titles represented by the remaining 4,351 entries. Many pose various kinds of uncertainty: separately published works are sometimes grouped and catalogued as multi-volume sets, but works issued together are occasionally listed separately. A single edited collection (21r13 and 21r14) yields 290 entries

that are, in effect, additional cross-references, and approximately 125 others probably duplicate entries elsewhere in the catalogue. offsetting these reductions from the total are the 69 books catalogued in the same entry with others (many probably representing titles bound together) and the 179 entries that note the presence of two (167 entries) or three (12 entries) copies of the book listed. In addition, there are no individual entries for the contents of the 24-volume collection of bound french pamphlets (159r12) or the first volume of the 11-volume collection of bound English pamphlets (158v04): together, these 25 volumes probably contained several hundred separately published
titles. Excluding these unlisted pamphlets, the number of separately published titles in Lord Leicester’s library was over 4,200; including them, the total may have reached 4,500. of the separately published and individually listed titles, those catalogued as multi-volume sets add almost 600 more books to the shelves, for a total of about 4,800 physical volumes representing at least 4,200 and probably about 4,500 separately published titles. By the standards of its time, the Penshurst library was thus a remarkably substantial one.13 Even so, the catalogue does not list every book to be found at Penshurst Place in the mid-seventeenth century.

form of historical document, booklists are themselves a genre, with a variety of subcategories, each with its own conventions for inclusion and exclusion, and its characteristic traps for the unwary researcher. Different kinds of booklists were created for different purposes: as shelf lists (often arranged by format), as inventories with values listed, or as alphabetized reference catalogues, as is the case with the Penshurst catalogue. Thus the catalogue omits books that may have been kept elsewhere in the house, such as the personal library of Dorothy Percy Sidney, the countess of Leicester. Her collection of about 80 books was housed in her “closet,” probably the study in “Sidney’s Lodging” described in a 1623 inventory that provides us with much information about the organization of the house.14 Similarly, because the catalogue omits estate papers and most personal manuscripts, it does not mention the commonplace books compiled by Robert Sidney, the first earl, of which four are extant, nor the manuscript volume of his poetry.15 Also unmentioned are the second earl’s massive commonplace books, seven of which are extant, plus a related bundle of loose papers. Estate papers were kept separately in the Record Tower at Penshurst, for such “evidences” were vital to the legal status of the estate.16 other books would also have turned up elsewhere in the great house: part books for singing kept in the solar (the family’s private parlour); in the schoolroom an assortment of battered primers; in the bedrooms or servants’ quarters bibles, broadsides, and chapbook romances; recipe collections in the kitchen; and veterinary works in the farm buildings. The number of books in two later lists that are not entered in the catalogue (see pp. 32–3) suggests that Lord Leicester may also have kept a separate small “working” collection in his bedroom, which as we shall see was connected directly with the library room.

The library at Penshurst was made up overwhelmingly of printed books. There are some manuscript books or treatises among the family papers today; most appear to be later acquisitions, but five are almost certainly listed in Spencer’s catalogue.17 In addition to these five, eighteen entries in the catalogue are definitely manuscript books and several others might be: one entry (23r26) is definitely a manuscript though not described as such, so others (particularly some of the unidentified entries) may be as well.18 Some of these manuscript books are family related, including manuscripts of Arcadia and the Sidney Psalms, catalogued together (153r14), fulke Greville’s Dedication to Philip Sidney (42v30), and possibly a couple of the catalogue’s few unidentified texts (such as 31v24 and 99r03). But mainly they comprise legal, political, financial, and other kinds of texts that circulated widely in manuscript in the period, including titles by John Selden, Thomas Egerton, Sir Henry Wotton, and Sir francis Knollys; some biographies and memoirs, including George Cavendish’s Life of Cardinal Wolsey (99v01); some commonplace books or similar compilations on subjects such as warfare, history, and artillery; and a characteristically eclectic assortment of other texts, including an interesting work on mining (44r27), a french Book of Hours (73v04), and William Cartwright’s play The royal slave (167v02), one of the very few literary works among the manuscripts. Most of these books seem to be utilitarian: unlike some contemporaries, the Sidneys do not appear to have been interested in collecting old or spectacular manuscripts as objects in themselves. The one showpiece in the catalogue, the Dudley earl of Leicester’s fine manuscript of William Bowyer’s Heroica eulogia (23r26), was probably prized for its connection with Leicester rather than for its fine calligraphy. But the presence of these relatively
Books,” 191–2. The Sidney library is an unusually large one for its period, though by the later seventeenth century equally large or very much larger private libraries would start to become more common. As Hunter et al. point out with respect to Samuel Jeake’s books, most extant inventories up to the mid-seventeenth century list collections in the hundreds at most. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues, lists about twenty private collections numbering over 1,000 books up to about 1640, mainly the collections of prominent churchmen, aristocrats, scholars, or collectors. only one collection (Andrew Perne’s) exceeds 1,000 titles among the inventories edited in Leedham-Green, Books in Cambridge Inventories, or fehrenbach, gen. ed., Private Libraries in Renaissance England. The countess’s books were inventoried at her death in 1659: CKS U1500 E110, now edited by Black and Kinnamon in Dorothy Percy Sidney, Correspondence (ca 1626–1659), 209–13. for the 1623 inventory, see below. now BL Add. 58435: see Poems of Robert Sidney, ed. Croft. At least one of the second earl’s commonplace books fell into the hands of the historian and antiquary Thomas Birch (1705–66). The original is lost, but the notes Birch took from it are recorded in BL Add. 4464 and are cited in a number of places in our edition as “Birch BL Add. 4464.” The manuscript treatises and texts among the family papers on deposit in the CKS are listed in the “z” classification of CKS U1475 and U1500. The five manuscripts within this group that seem to have remained at Penshurst from the seventeenth century until the family papers were put on deposit are 37r28, 50v28, 71r01, 113r02, and 151r16. other entries that refer to manuscripts (most are described as such in the catalogue) are: 23r26, 42v30, 44r27, 50v03, 73v04, 99v01, 109r15-16, 115r03, 138v09, 138v13, 140r08, 153r14, 161v15, 167v02, 174r05, 205v12, and 214r17. Possible manuscripts include 7r08, 31r17, 31v24, 70r04, 71r17, 97r05, 99r03, 121r22, and 196v04.
Introduction
common sorts of manuscripts is a reminder of the important role such texts played in the circulation of information in the seventeenth century: there is ample evidence in the correspondence of the first and second earls and their servants and friends that like other men of their time they frequently exchanged handwritten copies of current texts of interest. for example, Sir William Browne (Robert Sidney’s deputy governor in flushing) wrote to Sidney on 4 May 1602: Monsieur Valck hath very kyndly lent me divers discourses of his which I have not only redd, but also coppyed out by stelth, which att my retorne out of Holland I will send to your Lordship, if I may know your desyre to have them, or that you have not seen them. I wold have sent them now butt then I should not have kept any coppy for myself: they were recommended to me as matter of som secret.19
Likewise, on 20 october 1607 Browne sends Sidney a copy he has made of “a discourse of M. de Lieres” which he asks Sidney to have copied and returned.20 of the catalogue’s 4,200 or so potentially identifiable titles, dates of publication can be established for about 2,200; another 300 or so are datable to decade. The datable books range from a few incunables to books published in 1664, after which the catalogue ceased to be updated. Almost half the books in the collection were in Latin and about a quarter of the remainder in English. But the library also contained unusually substantial collections of books in other languages: more than 700 in french (excluding the hundreds of french pamphlets bound in 24 volumes, not listed individually by title), more than 300 in Italian, more than 100 in Spanish, and several dozen collectively in Portuguese, German, Dutch, Greek, and Hebrew, as well as various books printed in more than one language. Places of publication include not only all the expected sources but cities throughout Eastern Europe and Scandinavia as well as smaller towns throughout france, Italy, Spain, and Germany. Given the size of the library, it naturally offers comprehensive collections in standard subject areas: classics, theology, history (an exceptional collection, representing all periods, for all parts of the world), political theory (including recent English writers such as Hobbes and Harrington), philosophy, and jurisprudence. Thoroughly represented contemporaries include writers such as Hugo Grotius, Justus Lipsius, and John Selden, all men acquainted with one

or another of the Sidneys. The library also contained all of the works of niccolò Machiavelli, not only his political writings but also his plays and poems, as well as similarly comprehensive collections of many other writers well known, or now less well known, in many fields. for example, there are at least eleven titles by or associated with the Protestant controversialist David Blondel (1591–1655), whom Leicester must have encountered at Charenton. In 1638 he wrote to Archbishop Laud asking him to read a work by Blondel, an odd request in view of their differing theological positions. This was possibly the only instance of an attempt by Leicester to exercise some form of cultural patronage (Collins II, 557–8). Standard subjects aside, one of the most attractive features of this collection is its eclecticism. As estate owners and householders, the Sidneys owned the most up-to-date books in several languages on agriculture, bookkeeping, beekeeping, finance (leases, annuities, mortgages, loans, property law), drainage, carpentry, forestry, orchards, gardening, fishing, weights and measures, household medicine, herbals, surveying, timber management, mining and metallurgy, and animal husbandry. As soldiers they owned the latest works in several languages on military strategy, weapons training, fortifications, artillery, fireworks, and horsemanship. As diplomats they required genealogies, books of heraldry and ceremony, collections of treaties, conduct books, and hundreds of pamphlets detailing current events in every corner of Europe. To entertain themselves and their families they owned a substantial collection of literature, including a wide range of English and Continental fiction, poetry, and plays in both their original languages and in translations. The library is also unusually strong in areas less commonly found in Renaissance booklists, such as published memoirs and letters. Science and mathematics – the latter a special interest of the second earl – are also particularly well represented, with fine working collections of astronomy (including Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and Brahe), algebra, geometry, and natural history, and including works of anatomy, magnetism, optics, surgery, and navigation. The Sidneys also owned an extensive collection of writings on travel and exploration (including a number of books on the English colonies in north America and the Spanish ones in the new World) and a correspondingly substantial collection of maps and atlases. A much smaller but nonetheless tantalizing presence is a cluster of works by learned women, including Marie

de Gournay and Anna Maria van Schurman. In addition, there is the very large category of “other”: witchcraft, magic, cookery, chiromancy, emblems, engineering, books about tobacco, salt, spas, and hawking, the Koran (in Latin and in English), works by religious and political radicals from across the spectrum (sixteenthcentury monarchomachs, seventeenth-century republicans, civil war Levellers, secretly printed Catholic polemicists), book sale catalogues and even books on library organization.21 for anyone interested in possible connections between the books in the library and the literary work of various members of the Sidney family, the selection of literature here – the absences as well as the presences – invites speculation. Why do we find George Herbert’s poetry, but not John Donne’s, even though Donne is represented by Pseudomartyr, Ignatius his Conclave, Essays in Divinity, and several sermons, including Deaths Duel? Why Spenser’s Shepheardes Calender, but not his Faerie Queene? Is it possible the Sidneys lacked a copy, or had some Spenser-loving Sidney spirited it away at some point during the previous sixty years? Why Ben Jonson’s 1640 Works, but of the early seventeenth-century Jonson – the author of “To Penshurst” and the friend of many Jacobean-era Sidneys – only the quarto editions of Sejanus and Catiline? Samuel Daniel, Michael Drayton, and Tottell’s collection of Songs and Sonnets are present, as is Shakespeare’s second folio (the latter two among the added entries and thus presumably entering the collection after 1652), Beaumont and fletcher’s 1647 folio, and a handful of other plays, usually in editions from the 1630s or later. There are printed copies of Sidney’s Arcadia of course, as well as the manuscript listed at 153r14. But otherwise the library is far more comprehensive in its collection of sixteenth-century Italian poetry and drama than of English or for that matter french literature. There are multiple editions of Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, and numerous Italian lyricists, but no Ronsard or Du Bellay. There is a comprehensive assortment of Spanish, french, and Italian romance (three copies of Amadis de Gaule, including surprisingly a German translation), but very little English – not even a copy of Lady Mary Wroth’s Urania. Similar puzzles abound for books in other fields. To give just one example, did the Sidneys not own a copy of foxe’s Acts and Monuments, or had the family copy made its way into the second earl’s study, the schoolroom, or the chapel? The absence of books on Ireland is also odd, given how much time various Sidneys spent there over the years in an effort to
govern it. Similar patterns of expected holdings and unexpected gaps could likely be traced in every field represented in the library. Despite these puzzles, the books at Penshurst represent a textual community, one centred on an extended family and participated in over time by many Sidneys. Book historians have long argued that individual books can tell us a great deal about themselves through bindings, format, signs of ownership, and paratextual apparatus; a whole list of books, even in the absence of the books themselves, offers the chance to trace patterns of collecting or reading, to confirm the presence of the works of certain Continental authors in England at a given time, to see how a book might have been used by placing it against the backdrop of other books owned by the same reader or, in this case, the same family of readers. Books speak to one another; we can tell something about them and their owners by the company they keep, and in the case of the Sidneys’ books it is a rich acquaintanceship indeed. The Life of the Mind in Arcadia Among the early Sidneys, Philip and Robert were poets, and Robert was musically gifted as well. A later Sidney, Philip the third earl, was intensely interested in paintings. But it is in the books of the growing library that the life of the mind at Penshurst is most fully represented. Gilbert Spencer’s manuscript invites us to consider the legacies of several distinct but overlapping communities: Sir Henry Sidney making his way amid personalities debating the politico-religious shifts of the Tudor court, and Sir Henry’s son, the poet Philip, broadening this circle to include the learned Europeans he met during his journeys to the Continent in 1572–5 and 1577. This was also the world of Robert, the first earl. In youth a traveller in Europe like his sibling, Robert lived to become a well-connected Jacobean courtier, moving among the sons of the men his father had known, and in effect the founder of the collection at Penshurst. But it was Robert’s son and heir, also named Robert (1595–1677), who was the most important builder of the library. Soldier and ambassador, he united the family military and diplomatic traditions, and was a passionate collector of books on every subject as well as a passionate taker of notes on the books he collected. In the hundreds of citations that the first and second earls drew from the books at Penshurst for their commonplacing, we can see three intellectual preoccupations
21 E.g., 30r02–03 (sale catalogues) and 194v03 (on libraries and their organization).
Introduction
that united the Sidneys over a century and a quarter: resistance to the Papacy, sympathy with social contract theories of political power, and opposition to Spanish hegemony in Europe. However, in each case these interests were filtered through concerns particular to the man and his times. The drama of virtue as Philip Sidney represents it in the two versions of his romance Arcadia has been shown by Blair Worden as intricately related to his anxieties about affairs of state.22 But though Sidney would recommend a long list of historians to his friend Edward Denny, until the last two years of his life the state service such reading implies had to take literary form. Philip’s brother Robert read the same historians but, as Robert Shephard has demonstrated, did so as one who had to negotiate the hard realities of a long life at court and prepare his sons to do the same.23 The second earl in his turn encountered the conflicting obligations of an ambassador, a general, and an estate owner in an age of tumultuous revolution; his response was to seek answers to this turmoil among his books. But despite their differing circumstances, a coherent set of political and religious views connects these readers, from 1572 when Philip, still an inexperienced seventeen-year-old, witnessed the french massacre of Huguenots on St Bartholomew’s Day, to 1683 when his great-grand-nephew Algernon suffered judicial murder for allegedly plotting to assassinate Charles II and his heir, James, duke of york. The Sidneys were committed Protestants in religion, and most of them were radicals in politics. The Sidney family’s long-standing allegiance to Protestant causes is rooted in the European religious conflicts of the last half of the sixteenth century and broadly reflected in the accumulating books at Penshurst. As political actors, Sir William and Sir Henry Sidney had managed to keep their feet throughout the civil and religious conflicts of mid-sixteenth-century England, and there is little sense that their Protestantism was urgently doctrinal. But by the 1560s Sir Henry had allied himself with his brother-in-law, Elizabeth’s favourite, Robert Dudley (created earl of Leicester in 1564 – as a Dudley title it died with him), whose Calvinist reli-
11
gious views and support for the cause of independence in the netherlands would leave a lasting impression on two generations of Sidneys and have material consequences for their library. When Philip Sidney travelled to Europe in 1572–5, the figures he met united political radicalism with theological internationalism. Many were pupils or intellectual heirs of Philip Melanchthon (1497–1560), theologian, humanist, and key figure in this case not of the Calvinist but of the Lutheran tradition.24 The resistance of the Philippists to the Papacy in religion and to Spanish domination in politics led them to envision a united Europe led by a Protestant prince (perhaps, some thought, Philip Sidney himself) who could defeat both enemies.25 Related to this movement were the views of another, and in many cases overlapping, group of men, the “monarchomachs.” In the aftermath of the massacre at Paris, opposition grew among Protestant intellectuals to the concept of rule by divine right. The rethinking of the concept of rule by figures such as françois Hotman (1524–90), Théodore de Bèze (1519–1605), Hubert Languet (1518–81), and Philippe de Mornay (1549–1623) drew inspiration from the writings of the distinguished philologist and moral philosopher Justus Lipsius (1547–1606), who argued a concept of rights founded on the writings of that formidable critic of tyranny, the Roman historian Tacitus.26 Robert Sidney’s heavily annotated copy of Justus Lipsius’s edition of Tacitus is in the British Library today,27 and there are nearly two dozen titles by Lipsius in the catalogue. Sovereign power, the monarchomachs held, did not rest with kings ruling by divine right but was a result of a contract between king and people. The ideas of these men and their intellectual posterity continued to influence the course of English, and specifically republican, political thinking almost until the end of the seventeenth century, and their writings were all well represented in the collection at Penshurst. no mere set of theories, during the decade following the St Bartholomew’s Day massacre this religious and political radicalism was consolidated within a Europewide network of sympathizers.

Sidney found a mentor in Hubert Languet and a friend in the french Huguenot Philippe de Mornay, who would become one of his closest associates. Both he and (later) his brother Robert spent time in Strasbourg in the house of the famous educator Johann Sturm (1507–89).28 In the netherlands they made lasting friends among men with strong intellectual, religious, and even familial ties: the half-Dutch half-English Daniel Rogers, Janus Dousa, Emanuel van Meteren, the painter Marcus Geraerts (he would paint Robert, his wife, and their children), franciscus Junius (his Grammatica Hebraeae linguae of 1580 was dedicated to Philip Sidney), Janus Gruterus, the Utenhoves, father and son.29 As late as 1623 the second earl’s accounts record the purchase of a copy of José de Acosta’s De novo orbe (3r17) from Jean Hotman, françois’s son, who in the 1580s had been Robert Dudley’s secretary for foreign languages. It was among such books – indeed in the library at Penshurst – that the historian Jonathan Scott argues the first earl’s grandson Algernon Sidney wrote his radical Discourses Concerning Government (1680), the manuscript of which was used in evidence against him, with fatal effect, during his 1683 trial for treason.30 By that time, however, the writings of the subsequent generation had made a transition from the fiercely political texts of the monarchomachs and the irenic but activist views of the Philippists to a philosophy that was “Christianized, aristocratic, eclectic,” but also stoical and sceptical.31 In dialogues such as De constantia (1584) Lipsius had already stressed the need for both balance among the passions and a supreme detachment in the conflicts of public life. It was in the same spirit that the second earl would pursue a lifelong program of reading among his many books. During the century and a quarter in which they read, acquired, and mislaid books, and eventually established a library, the members of the Sidney family thus moved from an early vision of a Protestant Europe set free from old forms of monarchy, towards a bitter scepticism about the Lord’s representatives on earth, both religious and political.

In 1577 Philip Sidney had visited the Jesuit Edmund Campion in Prague, an encounter that prompted Campion to think, implausibly, that Sidney might be ripe for conversion. As this would suggest, the Sidneys did not adopt the angry anti-Catholicism of some of their contemporaries, and there are a number of works of Catholic theology, devotion, or apologetics in the catalogue. Even in the case of the second earl, whose commonplacing reveals the encroaching scepticism so clearly, the meliorating influence of Melanchthon’s constant testing of political ideas within a moral framework is evident. But as the lives of Leicester’s sons show (Philip the parliamentary general, Algernon facing the executioner for his beliefs) the Sidneys retained their tradition of action in the Protestant interest. As late as 1688 the last notable of the early family, the second earl’s son the courtier Henry Sidney, earl of Romney, was one of the seven men who signed the invitation to the Protestant Prince of orange to succeed the Catholic James II as William III of England. The Making of the Catalogue Gilbert Spencer’s manuscript, described in the Textual Introduction, stands at the centre of the life of the mind as the Sidneys lived it. Spencer was a gentleman attached to various members of the family as servant, then secretary, and eventually political aide, from about 1652 to his death in 1709.32 Born in St Albans in 1629,33 he was of gentry stock, from a minor branch of the Spencers of Althorp, one of whom, the youthful earl of Sunderland, had married Leicester’s daughter Dorothy in 1639.34 In a letter of 1640 to his man of business, William Hawkins, Leicester had spoken of his need to appoint someone to assist his then secretary, James Battiere, and his preference for some young man from among his kin or immediate household.35 When a factotum was needed in the earl’s retirement at Penshurst, Gilbert Spencer seems to have become that man, marrying a Penshurst woman, Elizabeth Combridge, and

Scott, Algernon Sidney and the Restoration Crisis, 95. Miller, Peiresc’s Europe, 13. Spencer’s hand in the catalogue is identified on the basis of the many documents he witnessed for Leicester over two decades and from letters from Spencer to Henry, earl of Romney, in the British Library (among others, see Add. 32680, ff. 112, 207, 282). 33 Spencer was baptized 2 September 1629, according to the records of St Alban’s Abbey, St Alban’s (Hertfordshire Record office); the entry in the Mormon IGI Index is wrong. 34 for pedigrees connecting the Sunderland and Hertfordshire Spencers, see Clutterbuck, History and Antiquities of the County of Hertford.

Introduction
settling in Red Leafe House on the edge of the Penshurst estate. He became deeply involved in the family’s affairs, called to Lady Leicester’s deathbed for her final blessing36 and witnessing documents along with his brother Abraham, who apparently accompanied him to Penshurst. He also scolded the younger Sidneys when required, as a complaint from the future fourth earl, then about eleven years old, gives evidence: “My Lord, I received a letter from Guilbert Spencer which I hope was not alltogether of your Lordships sence … I was … surprised at the severity of Guilbert Spencer’s letter … I shall allways receive your Lordships corrections with all submission, and beseech you not to subject me to those of a servant … which I cannot but think unbecomming one in the relation I have to your Lordship.”37 Between 1677 and 1683, when the second earl’s sons Algernon and Henry quarrelled bitterly with the heir, Philip the third earl, over the estate,38 Spencer was a firm partisan of Henry (created earl of Romney in 1694), whom he later served as political agent.39 Gilbert Spencer prospered as a result of his connection with the Sidneys: with Romney’s support he ended his life as a Groom of the Robes in successive Stuart courts and, during the 1690s, Receiver-General of Land Taxes for the county of Kent. He died in 1709 and is buried, with his wife and children, in Penshurst Church.40 The earliest evidence of Spencer’s arrival at Penshurst is the library catalogue itself, which was begun in late 1652 or perhaps early 1653 (the main catalogue lists many books published in 1652 but none from 1653, which first appear in the added entries). The task of copying it out must have been a tedious one, and not just because Spencer seems to have had a difficult original to follow: the catalogue appears not to have been created from books in hand, and Spencer may have been working in part from a handwritten list in Robert Sidney’s scrawl, from an inventory taker’s schedule, or even from a bundle of alphabetized slips.41 In some
13
cases, the cataloguing followed the advice of Thomas James, librarian of Sir Thomas Bodley’s growing foundation at oxford, to index individually texts that were bound or even published together within a larger collection.42 for example, an 11-volume set of boundtogether English pamphlets is listed at 158v04, but separate listings for about 200 pamphlets in the set appear throughout the catalogue (the contents of one of these eleven volumes – a group of parliamentary ordinances – were apparently considered not worth the bother of listing separately). Spencer was less conscientious in his treatment of the contents of the 24-volume collection of bound-together french pamphlets (159r12). But he provided 290 individual listings for texts included in Margarin de La Bigne’s 11-volume anthology of patristic writings, Biblioteca veterum patrum (1624), listed at 21r13 and 21r14; unhappily he managed it by using a table of contents which was itself full of errors. The provision of the almost 1,500 additional crossreferences must also have been a wearying task. But their presence – unusual in Renaissance booklists – indicates that this catalogue was created as a working reference document. That is, the manuscript does not represent an inventory: there is no attempt to provide valuations. nor is it a shelf list: the catalogue does not provide shelf marks or locations, although a fragmentary booklist of 1723 (see pp. 37–8, and Textual Introduction) indicates that the volumes were probably shelved in the traditional fashion, by size, with octavos at the top, folios at the bottom (none of the located extant books bears an identifiable Penshurst shelf mark). organized alphabetically, predominantly by author though with titles and occasionally subjects intermingled, the catalogue serves primarily as a record of what books were part of the second earl’s library ca 1652–65. It rarely provides a full bibliographical record: entries include dates of publication for about 1,000 books; occasionally they list place of publication

In that document Sidney calls Spencer Romney’s steward, which he may have become by that time; in the 1680s and 90s he was certainly acting as Romney’s aide in London. 39 Besides the letters in BL Add. 32680, see the several references to “Mr. Spencer” in Sidney, Diary of the Times of Charles the Second. 40 Spencer was appointed a Groom of the Robes in 1681 and served until 1695 (TnA Ao 3/928-940); he was Receiver-General of Land Taxes for Kent from 1689 to 1701 (TnA E 182/429, 430). During his life he maintained tenancy in the Manor of Kingsbury, St Alban’s (Hertfordshire Record office, Small Collections, Acc. 751, 78783–94). An anonymous local historian observes that in 1699 Spencer was able to purchase ninety-seven acres of land in the vicinity of Penshurst for £1,700 (Penshurst Church and Village, 19). His will, dated 28 January 1705/6, is TnA PRoB 11/510, 31v–32r. The wall monument in Penshurst church recording the burials of Spencer and his family, including his last heir, another Abraham, is reported by Thorpe, Registrum Roffense, 916. 41 for Robert Sidney’s difficult handwriting see Warkentin and Kinnamon, “Robert Sidney and the Italic Hand.” The use of alphabetized slips would have been uncommon in the period, but the second earl often used slips in collecting and entering material in his commonplace books; a few of them still remain, tucked into the volumes. 42 The First Printed Catalogue of the Bodleian Library 1605, xi. A copy was in the library (83r23).

or (very occasionally) printer. The scattered entries that provide full titles and bibliographical information are sometimes those added in the hand of the second earl; other full entries may have been copied from slips he prepared. But even if most entries do not live up to the standards the earl set himself in these examples, the catalogue appears to have served his purposes: the manuscript was evidently well used, as we can see not only in its many additions and occasional annotations but from its worn binding and curved-back spine. Presumably the earl would consult it when corresponding with agents and stationers or reading the auction catalogues he purchased. He also may have used it to compare his collection to other libraries, personal and institutional, to see what he might be missing. Among the family papers, for example, is a subject catalogue of the library of about 1,000 volumes owned by the noted scholar John Hales of Eton College (1584–1656), accompanied by a four-page list of 171 titles, apparently compiled by one of Leicester’s servants, headed “These are not in your lordship’s catalogue.”43 But whatever the uses to which the earl put his catalogue, it was evidently as important to him personally as it was practically. Unlike many booklists in the period (including the list of Hales’s library), Spencer’s manuscript has a relatively formal mise-en-page and is neatly written out, with calligraphic initials beginning each alphabetical section (see figure 3). Its cover is identical in style to that in which the earl rebound his heavily annotated personal bible (still at Penshurst today), evidently about the same time he had the library catalogue made in the early 1650s.44 none of his commonplace books or his extant printed books bear the same, distinctive binding. Readers and Collectors, 1540–1626 Lord Leicester, seated in his comfortable library room with his great commonplace books before him, is the end product of a history of reading and collecting at Penshurst that reflects the slowness with which the
conception of such a gentleman’s library evolved in England. In the sixteenth century a number of factors converged to affect the development of private collections: institutional uncertainty caused by the sudden destruction of the previously dominant monastic libraries, varying degrees of literacy among the nobility and gentry, and, as Andrew Pettegree has shown, the very different conditions of book publishing and supply in England’s small market compared with those on the Continent.45 It is possible to learn something of what Leicester’s grandfather Sir Henry Sidney was reading, but there are few if any of his books in the catalogue, and no evidence that they were kept in a special place at Penshurst. The reading of his uncle Philip, the poet, has been thoroughly explored, but only a few books certainly his have ever been located.46 But by the time Philip’s soldier brother Robert settled for good at Penshurst early in the seventeenth century, we find a more comprehensive and stable collection evolving, and clear material evidence of reading with a firm purpose, in his case that of educating his sons for public life. The reading of Sir Henry and Sir Philip links the intellectual world of the early Sidneys with the later, but it is Robert Sidney who laid the material foundations of his son’s great collection. Sir Henry Sidney: “I knowe your Lordship to love antiquities” As Edmund Molyneux relates, Sir Henry Sidney was “a good antiquarie, skilfull in storie [history], pedegree and armes, languaged (for he profited greatlie both by travell and conference) and not meanlie learned.”47 So too thought Archbishop Matthew Parker, writing in 1574 to send “one of my poore bookes of Thomas Walsinghams Storie, &c. latelie sett owte; for I knowe your Lordship to love antiquities” and asking to see some books that Sidney has “that I may enlarge them or by comparison amend those that I have in hand.”48 The little we know of Sir Henry’s books suggests that his interests were those of an intelligent Englishman of his era, but one who had been fortunate to spend

The document is of great interest, since though Hales’s reputation as scholar and collector is well known there has been no evidence of what books he actually possessed. He is said to have sold his fine library for £700 to assist clergy in need (oDnB). 44 See Appendix for a description of the earl’s bible, and the Textual Introduction for a description of the style of binding it shares with the library catalogue. 45 Pettegree, The Book in the Renaissance, 123–8, 339–42, and passim. 46 A Xenophon (Paris, 1572) now in the private collection at Penshurst (see the note to 216r05) and a Guicciardini (Venice, 1565) now at Harvard (see the note at 68v20) are his, and a Bandello (Lyons, 1561) contains his schoolboy inscription (see figure 4). The ownership or association attributions of a Sadoleto (Cologne, 1554) now at the folger and a Pescatore (Venice, 1551) now at Harvard are more tentative. See Appendix for the Bandello, Sadoleto, and Pescatore. 47 Holinshed, Chronicles, III, 1552. 48 CKS U1475 C7/15, Matthew Parker to Sir Henry Sidney, 1 Dec. 1574.
Introduction
time among the learned men around his brotherin-law Robert, the Dudley earl of Leicester. Dudley patronized not only works of learning and religion, but also the authors of military, cosmological, and scientific works,49 and from the books dedicated to Sir Henry it appears that authors who sought his patronage assumed he would be interested in the same kind of knowledge. Among them were the translations of André Thevet’s New found worlde (1568) and Jean de Serres’ A discourse of the civile warres and late troubles in Fraunce (1570), Richard Stanyhurst’s Harmonia seu catena dialectica (1570), Christopher Carlile’s A discourse wherein is plainly proved … that Peter was never at Rome (1572), and D.P., Certaine brief and necessarie rules of geographie, serving for the understanding of chartes and mappes (1573). Though authors generally presented copies of their books to the dedicatees, none of these works is in the catalogue. However, in 1579 Sir Henry certainly owned at least a trunkful of books, for on 28 March he paid 16s for carriage of such a trunk (with other things) from London to Penshurst (HMC I, 267). Sir Henry’s extant accounts indicate some of the books he was buying: in 1560–1 a bible “with other bookes” for £17 11s 10d (HMC I, 240) and in 1573–4 “two books of Marters” (presumably John foxe) for 46s, Richard Grafton’s Chronicle for 21s 2d, and Jean froissart’s Chronicle for 27s (HMC I, 248). A 1575 entry records simply “printed books, bought of Tottill” (HMC I, 246). Richard Tottell was primarily a publisher of law books, but the date suggests that the purchase may have included the 1574 edition of Tottell’s famous Songs and Sonnets. none of the identifiable books in these records is the copy recorded in the catalogue (the copy of Songs and Sonnets listed at 51v05 is an added book, entering the catalogue after 1652). Account entries early in 1579 also record the making of an illuminated book of the arms of Garter knights as Sir Henry’s gift for Prince John Casimir, who was visiting England with Philip’s friend Hubert Languet (HMC I, 258, 267). Perhaps most importantly, it was Sir Henry’s support of his chaplain David Powel that made possible the latter’s adaptation of Humphrey Llwyd’s Cronica Walliae a Rege Cadwalader ad annum 1294 as the Historie of Cambria, now called Wales (1584), a book that does appear in the catalogue (77r03); it remained the standard work on the history of early Wales until 1911 (oDnB).
15
Six books known to have been owned by Sir Henry Sidney and his wife Lady Mary are still extant. A copy of the 1548 edition of Edward Hall’s The union of the two noble and illustrate famelies of Lancastre & Yorke (folger Library) bears, on sig. 2R8r, three sets of Latin verses in a firm italic hand, signed H.S., as well as some verses in English signed either M.S. or Mary Sidney, one dated 1551. And on sig. 3K7v a Latin epigram is repeated, in Sir Henry’s hand, along with three sets of English verses probably signed (the paper is damaged) by Mary. Andrew Strycharski has identified most of their sources: ovid, Epistulae ex Ponto, Pliny the younger, the Imagines Mortis (Dance of Death), and the English ones from William Baldwin’s Treatise on Moral Philosophy (1547). He argues that they reflect the “seriousness, sobriety, and moral conservatism” of the “little school” established for the young Prince Edward, where Sir Henry (though he was the elder by eight years) was the future king’s schoolfellow.50 The work is not in the catalogue in this edition, and other signatures indicate that this copy had left the family by 1603. A copy of Lonicer (ed.), Chronicorum Turcicorum (frankfurt, 1578) with several signatures of Sir Henry is at Penshurst, bought back by a later Sidney. A presentation copy of William Lambarde’s 1576 A perambulation of Kent (95r12) is in the Bodleian Library. Lambarde’s dedicatory letter to Sir Henry (tipped in) explains that he had previously sent Sir Henry an “exemplification” of the book, probably a manuscript, and now presents this printed version. The volume of poems by Chaucer and Lydgate issued by John Kyngston in 1561 (31v37, University of Pennsylvania) bears what is almost certainly Sir Henry’s signature; but again other early signatures indicate that this copy left Penshurst before the catalogue was made. A copy of the Concetti di Girolamo Garimberto et d’altri degni autori in a rare edition dated 1559 is at Penshurst; it once belonged to Lady Mary Sidney (who is thought to have read Italian), for she signed the title page. not in the catalogue, the book was evidently bought back by Sir William Robert Sidney in the nineteenth century. The bible, standard historical works, an anthology in Italian, a survey of the county in which the family had taken up their estate: these volumes map the range of interests in a gentry family of the period. Sir Henry Sidney’s will does not mention books,51 and the dispersal of the few known books owned by the family in these years is evidence that the Sidneys had a casual

attitude to the books they did accumulate. Well into the seventeenth century members of the family must have loaned or given away books, taken them along when they travelled away from Penshurst, or simply mislaid them. for the sixteenth-century Sidneys as for most of their contemporaries, the concept of a private library on the scale of the second earl’s had yet to evolve. Sir Philip Sidney: “The course, to knowe, what it is we desire to knowe” Sir Philip Sidney spent remarkably little of his short life at Penshurst, and when he died of battlefield wounds suffered at zutphen in the netherlands on 17 october 1586 he had been heir to the estate only since Sir Henry’s death in the previous May, unable to return even briefly to Penshurst from his military responsibilities in the Low Countries. one poignant presence in the catalogue is a copy of De sclopettorum by Bartholomeo Maggio (107r21), published in Venice in 1566, a book specifically about the treatment of gunshot wounds. Was it bought by Philip, the prudent military commander, before the battle at zutphen where he was shot? Sought out by Robert right after his brother’s injury when there might still have been hope? Picked up after Sidney’s death, perhaps to see what the treatment ought to have been? An exploration of the catalogue invites such questions, though it does not always provide answers. Given the intersection between Philip Sidney’s interrupted life and the still-evolving concept of the gentleman’s private library, it is surprising that we know anything at all about either his reading or his books. However, Sidney’s fame has taken care of that; even Queen Elizabeth did not hesitate to call him “the most accomplished gentleman in Europe.”52 The serious education at Shrewsbury School and then oxford, by which his father prepared him for public life, the letters he exchanged with learned acquaintances, and the advice he gave to others clearly indicate what books Sir Philip Sidney thought were important, but it is doubtful he ever managed to assemble in one place what we could call a personal library. A sentence in the poet’s will, made at Arnhem on 30 September 1586, provides very succinctly as follows: “Item, I give and bequeathe to my dear friends Mr.

Edward Dyer and Mr. fulke Greville all my books.”53 What did Sidney mean by “my books”? The printed volumes he brought with him to the Low Countries? Those left behind in the apartments in Sir francis Walsingham’s house at Barn Elms where Sidney and his wife lived after their marriage in 1583? Books still at Penshurst, inherited from his father, and in which his brother Robert might be assumed to have an interest? Perhaps simply the papers in his writing desk?54 Sidney’s

See van Dorsten, “Sidney and Languet,” 219. 53 Sidney’s Will, in Miscellaneous Prose of Sir Philip Sidney, 149. 54 The looseness with which the term “book” was used well into the seventeenth century to refer both to printed volumes and to quires of manuscript makes this a real possibility.
Introduction
will was notoriously difficult and costly to administer, and there is no indication that this particular provision, whatever it meant, was in fact executed.55 nor is it easy to associate specific titles in the catalogue with the poet’s ownership. However, one book in his trunk would have been “Le livre en flaman descripvant les havres de leurope,” which Sidney requested in a letter to Christopher Plantin in the spring of 1586. It was identified by Curt Buhler as L.J. Waghenaer’s well-known Speculum Nauticum (the copy listed in the catalogue at 212r02 is a seventeenth-century English translation).56 Several of the titles in the catalogue published between 1570 and 1586 were directly alluded to by Sidney in his writings or, like Jean de Serres’s (Serranus) edition of Plato (147r01), can be associated with him.57 françois Hotman, author of the Francogallia (82r29), was a close friend, and that work is a critical text for the circle of Protestant intellectuals Sidney moved in on the Continent.58 The Responsio of Tadeáš Hajek (71r07) is a work of 1574 by the Emperor’s physician, whose son Johannes was introduced to Sidney in that same year, and eventually sponsored by him, though with no great success, at Christ Church.59 We cannot know if the catalogue entries represent the specific copies Sidney owned, though the Responsio was most likely his, but the presence of these titles provides some testimony to the continuity of intellectual interests between Sir Philip and later Sidneys. one of Sidney’s letters provides a guide, at least, to the books the poet thought important. on 22 May 1580 Sidney wrote to his friend Edward Denny, a man seven years his senior, and one he charmingly addresses not as “a scoller that will reed in the scools” but as a gentleman like himself. In it he maps a program revealing what books he thought a man of his own class, with similar duties and interests, should be reading. “This I think,”
17
writes Sidney, “may be the course, to knowe, what it is we desire to knowe.” He proceeds to list “the Greek & Romane writers, for they were the wisest, and fullest of excellent examples, both of discipline & strategemes,” passes to Melanchthon’s Chronology, and moves on to Justinian, Herodotus, a long list of other Greek and Roman historians, to Tacitus, Stephanus’s Lives of the Emperors, and zonara. He goes on to specify “the particular chronicles of eche country, as Paulus Æmilius for france, Polidore for Englande, and soe of the rest,” listing in addition Holinshed, froissart, Enguerrand de Monstrelet, Comines, and Guicciardini.60 Most of the authors mentioned in the letter were eventually recorded in the Penshurst catalogue. If the titles are typical of Sir Philip Sidney’s reading, he was consumingly interested in any kind of writing that bore on public events and statecraft. The books Sidney recommended to Denny are precisely what we would expect of a man with a statesman’s interests, not a poet’s. nowhere do we get any sense that literature as we conceive that term, indeed as Sidney helped us to conceive it in the Defence, is of central importance in the formation of the mind of a gentleman. few of his extant letters are to persons with whom Sidney might have shared specifically literary interests, and even those tend to reflect the poet’s interest in public affairs.61 Wherever he might have displayed another facet, Sidney’s mind remained that of the prospective magistrate. Sir Philip Sidney, it seems, had a statesman’s and politician’s interests, the classical culture of a brilliant schoolboy, and like everyone else he read the latest books in areas of interest to him. In Gilbert Spencer’s library catalogue, Sidney is thus, as his Astrophil says of Stella, an “absent presence.”62 yet the catalogue does reveal one important aspect of the literary interests of Sidney and his brother, both of whom were accomplished writers of sonnets and songs.
55 on the problems of executing the will, see Read, Mr. Secretary Walsingham, III, 167–70; Sidney, Miscellaneous Prose, 143–6; Duncan-Jones, Sir Philip Sidney: Courtier Poet, 299. 56 ortelius, Theatrum orbis terrarum, also mentioned, is included (135r05). In the same letter, “La description des villes et forteresses” is thought by Buhler to be either Aurelio Pasino, Discours sur plusieurs poincts de l’architecture de guerre (Plantin, 1579), or (less likely) Louis Guicciardin, Description de touts les Pas-Bas (Plantin, 1582). Pasino is not in the catalogue, but Guicciardin is (68v16). See Buhler, “on the Date of the Letter Written by Sir Philip Sidney to Christopher Plantin.” The date of the letter, however, is more firmly established as March or early April 1586 by Bond, “A Letter from Sir Philip Sidney to Christopher Plantin.” Kuin agrees with Bond’s dating. 57 The other two authors are Contarini (39r14), mentioned in Sidney’s letter to Languet of 19 December 1573 (Correspondence, ed. Kuin, I, 62–6) and Aristotle, mentioned in Sidney’s letter of 18 october 1580 to Robert Sidney (Correspondence, ed. Kuin, II, 1005–10) and the letter to Edward Denny discussed below. 58 See Buxton, Sir Philip Sidney and the English Renaissance, 93, 156. 59 osborn, Young Philip Sidney, 242. See as well 188r21, also by Hajek. 60 Correspondence, ed.

And in the letter to Denny he reminds his friend “that you remember with your good voyce, to singe my songes, for they will one well become an other” (Correspondence, ed.

The Library of the Sidneys of Penshurst Place
Though many french volumes before 1600 are listed, including a little poetry, for instance Du Bartas, not one of the notable french poets is included, nor any minor ones. But among the smaller number of Italian books are at least eighteen sixteenth-century volumes of lyric poetry, anthologies of rime, and canzonieri, some by little-known figures, others by poets like Tasso and Della Casa. In addition there are four well-known midsixteenth-century treatises on vernacular composition or related matters by Girolamo Ruscelli, Lodovico Dolce, Lodovico Castelvetro, and Bernardino Tomitano. There is no comparable body of seventeenth-century Italian poetry or theory in the catalogue, even though the second earl bought much vernacular literature, a purchasing pattern dominated in his case by french books. Evidently one or both of the sixteenth-century Sidneys thought the Italian books interesting enough to buy. If so, they constitute a small, highly focused area of literary interest within the prevailingly civic orientation of the titles Philip recommended to Edward Denny and Robert cited in his commonplace books, and when fully investigated may explain a good deal of their practice as contemporary poets who were well aware of the exemplary status of Italian poetry in their day. one of the books which certainly belonged to Sir Philip Sidney, his copy of Xenophon, is now at Penshurst, bought back by the family in the twentieth century (see the note at 216r05). Judging from the few marks made in that book, he was sparing of annotation, but he did sign it “Ph. Sidney,” the words placed on either side of the Wechel emblem on the title page. Two books in our appendix of associated books, the Pescatore and the Sadoleto, are signed in the same position on their title pages, but variations in the hand make the identification very uncertain. In the 1650s when the catalogue was prepared, and perhaps even in 1743 when the actual volumes were auctioned off, some of the titles Sidney referred to in letters, books associated with him, and books alluded to in his literary works may have been in the library at Penshurst.
But if any of them were among those sold by Thomas osborne in 1743, we will probably never know. Robert Sidney, First Earl of Leicester: “if there were any good warrs, I should go to them” Sidney’s brother Robert, later the first of the Sidney earls of Leicester (1563–1626), not only shared his sibling’s interests in literature and statecraft, but in his turn commanded in the Low Countries for much of the period 1589–1603. Robert was a high-spirited but fundamentally dutiful youth who followed his brother’s path to Europe and then, enthusiastically, to the wars.63 In maturity he lived well into the next century to become lord chamberlain in the household of James I’s queen, Anne of Denmark. The number of extant books now recognizable as his testifies to the recent enrichment in our understanding of Philip’s amiable, dutiful, amorous, musical, well-connected, extravagant, and (on the basis of his books it must be admitted) well-read sibling. This transformation began with the emergence into the public gaze in 1973 of a manuscript of Robert Sidney’s poems with its fine songs64 and has been continued by publications on inventories of his clothing and household furnishings,65 revelations about his musical gifts,66 attention to his commonplacing,67 and the preparation of editions published and forthcoming of his extensive private and public correspondence.68 To this record, details of Robert’s commonplacing and the catalogue of his son’s books add a vital new dimension. By his maturity Robert Sidney was accumulating books that he kept and referred to again and again, the nucleus of what would become a true gentleman’s library. The earliest books we know of that may possibly be associated with Robert Sidney are the Cicero, De officiis, the Sleidanus, De quattuor imperiis (176v19), and the logic texts of Valerius (199r08 and 199r11) and Caesarius (not in catalogue) that his tutor Robert Dorsett purchased for him in 1575 when he was a student at Christ
63 Robert, travelling on the Continent, wrote his father in november 1580 that his brother had recommended “that if there were any good warrs, I should go to them” (Collins, I, 286). 64 The autograph manuscript of Robert Sidney’s poems left Penshurst in the early nineteenth century. It first appeared in a sale in 1833, but shortly thereafter was misattributed to Robert Dudley, earl of Leicester. After passing through several hands it was identified correctly by Peter Croft (Autograph Poetry in the English Language, no. 22). Sold at Sotheby’s in 1974, it is now BL Add. 58435.

Church, oxford.69 To these we should add Grafton’s Chronicle, bought for him by his father between 1572 and 1574 (66r24). A volume in the Pierpont Morgan Library, the french historian and prelate Claude de Seyssel’s De republica Galliae (1562), also provides a window on the youthful Sidney’s interests, or perhaps his recognition that an apprentice courtier ought to have a network. It bears a note in Latin by Richard Edes (1554–1604), “student” (that is, fellow) of Christ Church and later dean of Worcester, stating that Sidney gave the book to him in 1576; Sidney would have been twelve at the time.70 near the end of his life we see him inscribing his name in a volume by the virulently anti-Gallican Jesuit françois Garasse, Les recherches des recherches and autres oeuvres de Me. E. Pasquier (161r01).71 Signed in a firm hand “Leycester, 1623” when Sidney was sixty, its binding bears the arms of the order of the Garter, to which he had been admitted in 1616. Sidney’s annotated copy of the statutes of the order (not in the catalogue) is in the British Library (Davis 93), with a fine binding by John Bateman, the successor of the MacDurnan Gospels binder (see Appendix). At least sixteen extant books from the years between his early studies of Cicero and his death in 1626 can be documented as having belonged to Robert Sidney, along with a few others associated with him; ten are listed in the catalogue.72 This is a substantial number for the period, and the intellectual record the volumes represent is supported by the many titles he referred to in his commonplace books. Robert Sidney survived his brother’s dramatic death in 1586 for nearly four decades, serving as English military governor of flushing, as a higher, though never quite high enough, functionary in the Jacobean court, fathering eleven children (one of whom, Lady Mary
19
Wroth, was yet another Sidney family poet), in his position as Queen Anne’s lord chamberlain playing an important role in the court’s musical and dramatic activities,73 fretting endlessly to his cherished wife Barbara about the expense of contending for status at court, as a lonely widower marrying a second time, and finally expiring of a stroke in a river boat conveying him from Whitehall to Baynard’s Castle, where he was lodging.74 Mortgage documents and a lengthy inventory of 1623 indicate that the widower had already transferred his best furniture and books to his son, intending to move to a smaller establishment in London. If a list of books accompanied the inventory of household goods, it has disappeared.75 But because the second earl took care to preserve the commonplace books that record his father’s reading, we can gain from them a partial picture of the books at Penshurst in the period 1603–26, and the inventory aids in developing a picture of the library room in which, eventually, they were to be kept. Robert Sidney noted what he read in four substantial folios, volumes clearly regarded by his son the second earl as a repository of serious learning, for they provided the model for his own extensive commonplacing.76 Indeed, somewhat unusually for the time, the son sometimes returned to his father’s heavy volumes to make entries in them.77 A number of titles the first earl mentioned in these annotations can be identified today in various public and private collections.78 one such book (7v15) is a heavy calf-bound folio: Rerum anglicarum scriptores post Bedam praecipui (London, 1596, STC 21783), edited by Sir Henry Savile, the youthful but already distinguished mathematician who had sometimes been part of the group when Robert travelled on the Continent between 1579 and 1582.

See also CKS U1475 A37/9, entries for 13–17 July 1623. 75 for the mortgage, see Warkentin, “Jonson’s Penshurst Reveal’d.” Books, if inventoried at all, were generally listed separately. If so, and if such a list were attached to the inventory of household goods or to the mortgage itself, it could later have been removed to serve as the basis for the catalogue the second earl ordered compiled in the 1650s. Unhappily there is no solid evidence for this speculation, but Gilbert Spencer’s persistent struggle with the hand from which he was copying indicates, if nothing else, the existence of a list of some extent. 76 CKS U1475 z1/1, z1/2, z1/3, and z1/10. 77 Ann Blair comments that the use of a father’s commonplace books by a son is almost unknown in her experience (personal communication, 8 April 2005). 78 They are noted in our annotations to the relevant catalogue entries; see also Appendix.

on a corner of the title page, as does this one: “Sydney 1597” (see figure 5). The volume may have left Penshurst in the seventeenth century, for it lacks the bookplate inserted in the Penshurst books about 1704.79
Though Robert vigorously annotated several of the still-extant volumes he owned in his youth, such as the Tacitus (already mentioned) studied by Joel Davis, he did not annotate his copy of Savile. However, there are at least twenty-three references to this book or to one or another of its authors in his commonplace books. The Rerum anglicarum scriptores is one of the bestdocumented of all extant Sidney family books; besides the volume itself and the evidence of its use, we know roughly when it was purchased by Rowland Whyte, sent over to flushing, and then apparently sent back to England.80 Robert Sidney’s reading notes reveal an impressive linguistic range: English, Latin, french, German, Italian, and Spanish. As we have seen, there is evidence in the catalogue that in his youth he and Philip must have shared an interest in contemporary Italian poetry. But the Rerum anglicarum scriptores is entirely representative of the kind of reading that engaged him during his maturity. As Robert Shephard has argued, his aim was likely to educate the son who would succeed him: first William (1590–1612) and after William’s early death the eventual heir Robert.81 And like his poet brother, the first earl sought out contemporary authors. Among the books he cited there are very few classics – only Plutarch, Caesar, Polybius, and Livy – and he quoted scripture markedly less than his son the second earl, whose commonplace books are full of biblical and theological gleanings. Most frequently he drew upon historical works of his own era, both those chronicling contemporary history and those explaining it by reference to the past. Apparently reading with pen in hand,82 Sidney noted passages in Pandolfo Collenuccio’s Historia d’Italia, the chronicles and histories of Matteo and Giovanni Villani, Girolamo franchi di Conestaggio on the union of Portugal and Castile, the chronicles of Enguerrand de Monstrelet, Jean froissart, Raphael Holinshed, and David Chytraeus, the histories of Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini, Gerardus de Roo, Jean du Tillet, Jean de Serres, George Buchanan, William Camden, Albert Krantz, Juan de Mariana, Pontus Heuterus,
79 By 1882 the volume belonged to the Cambridge classicist Evelyn Shuckburgh, among whose many publications coincidentally is an 1891 edition of Sidney’s Defence based on the 1595 text known as the Apology for Poetry. We are grateful to Julian Shuckburgh and Dr Emily Shuckburgh for answering inquiries about their relative. 80 CKS U1475 A39, f. 15v: nov. 1596, Rowland Whyte records that he purchased “Mr. Savile’s storia of England for your Lordship.” CKS U1475 C12/130, f. 126v: a letter of 11 feb. 1597/8 (crossed out, probably by Robert Sidney) mentions sending the book to England. CKS U1475 A39, f. 27r: 10 feb. 1597/8, Whyte reports a payment of 13s 8d for this title, either confirming the original purchase or recording the cost of binding, or perhaps the purchase of a second copy. 81 Shephard, “The Political Commonplace Books of Sir Robert Sidney.” 82 The first earl signed thirteen of the sixteen extant books associated with him, and a few are closely annotated in the margins. The admittedly limited evidence provided by extant books of the second earl, however, suggests that he signed his far less consistently: only two of the nine associated (or probably associated) with him bear his signature; he furthermore did not add his signature to the extant books he presumably inherited from his father, nor sign those that were probably his to which the fifth earl added the family bookplate in 1704.
Introduction
Garibay y zamalloa’s Compendio historial (more than a hundred references), the Memoires of Martin du Bellay and Philippe de Comines, Sethus Calvisius’s chronology, Johann Carion’s universal history, and Luis del Mármol Caravajal’s Descripcion general de Affrica. Almost all of these books are listed in the catalogue of the Penshurst library as it stood in 1665, and nearly half of them still appear in a fragmentary list of books in the library at Penshurst prepared in 1723 by some later Sidney for purposes unknown.83 Among the gifted Sidneys Robert was marked out by his musicality, as Gavin Alexander has shown.84 However, there are only a few books on musical theory in the catalogue of the Penshurst library, and those could as easily have belonged to his heir, who was deeply interested in the related field of mathematics. But just as the second earl’s mathematical notebooks are unhappily lost to us, there remain almost no scores or part books belonging to either earl whether extant or listed in the library catalogue. Two exceptions are a song collection by the prolific Luca Marenzio (109v11) and a folio “Musicke Booke” (121r22). Song collections and part books may have been kept with the musical instruments wherever they were housed, perhaps in the parlour (solar) in “Leicester’s Lodging” or even in the master’s study, as often happened in Italy (see figure 7).85 As for Robert’s now-accumulating books, they were probably housed in the small study attached to Leicester’s Lodging, so named in the inventory of 1623. There are a number of volumes in the Bodleian Library and elsewhere that appear to have belonged to Robert but which he probably never saw at all. These were the fruits of the splendid gift of £100 that he gave in 1600 to the library of the University of oxford being refounded by his friend Sir Thomas Bodley; the bindings are all stamped with Sidney’s arms as of that date. When the books comprising his donation were purchased and bound he was in the netherlands, and as usual pleading with the Queen to return to England.
21
Rowland Whyte, his London agent and adviser, wrote to him on 16 May 1600: “Mr. Bodeley hath the bookes away, and in my opinion they are of all others the fayrest gifte, and soe intended to be put in the best place of the Library.”86 It is possible of course that it was Whyte who selected the titles, but the books delivered to the Bodleian reflect the same serious reading that we see in the commonplace books. Several of these volumes, which can be identified not only by the Sidney arms but by the marks of the clasps to which their chains were attached, left the Bodleian in the 1650s. The binding of one, after some fascinating adventures, ended up late in the nineteenth century supplying the covers for a Shakespeare first folio, a remboîtage now in the Morgan Library.87 As Spencer’s catalogue tells us, the Sidneys owned the second folio of 1632 (175v03); it is one of the added entries, so it was acquired after 1652. There is no evidence that the first earl possessed a library catalogue, though a list of his books could have been made in 1623, when the contents of Penshurst were inventoried and the aging widower turned the mansion over to his heir and took up residence in London. But Robert Sidney’s commonplace books indicate the books he read and reread. That reading situates him not only in the competitive court environment where he conducted his administrative life but – proleptically – in the intellectual setting of the learned Kentish gentlemen who would emerge in his son’s generation: Sir Roger Twysden and Sir Edward Dering, the oxindens, Lovelaces, Tuftons, and Haleses.88 Earnest readers, eager compilers and historians, they were men of large responsibilities in the county. Robert Sidney spent much more time in court service than most of these men would, but there is a sense in which he stands as their predecessor, forerunner of a generation whose wide reading would lay the groundwork for the English understanding of British and European history. As the growing evidence shows, Robert Sidney – at war and at peace, at court or in his study at Penshurst – was

reading just as learnedly and assiduously. Had Sir Philip Sidney survived into the 1620s to become the master of Penshurst and a member of James I’s court, these are probably the books he would have been reading as well. Robert Sidney, Second Earl of Leicester (1595–1677): “I have them all” When we turn to the books of Robert Sidney’s son, the second earl of Leicester, we move from limited documentation and gingerly speculation to resources full of information. In addition to Gilbert Spencer’s catalogue, there are accounts from Leicester’s book buying as a young man, two book bills from 1631–2 and 1650, two book lists from his old age, the seven extant commonplace books in which he recorded his reading between approximately 1621 and at least 1662, and documents that make it possible to identify and even describe his library room at Penshurst. A frustrating exception is a finely written list of 229 books, ‘Ex Bibliotheca Birkmannorum’ (CKS U1475 z45/1), that some early Sidney must have picked up casually. Evidently a list (ca 1575–80) of books available through an agent representing the German publishing dynasty Birckmann, it represents the Sidneys’ taste but casts no light on their purchasing. The second earl evidently revered his amiable father, whose commonplace books he kept and in which he sometimes made entries, but he was of a very different temperament: melancholy and more combative. And well before the first earl’s death he was already a collector, certainly familiar with his father’s books and eager to acquire more. The second earl’s life forms a bridge between two ages: that of the Sidneys of sixteenth-century fame and their disputatious seventeenth-century descendants. At his christening in 1595 there had gathered the remnant of the sixteenth-century Sidney circle: Penelope Rich (Sidney’s “Stella”) and her lover Lord Mountjoy, Sir Philip’s widow frances and her children by the earl of Essex, and “Lady Cumberland and her daughter,” the five year-old Lady Anne Clifford.89 Eighty-two years later
Leicester’s son Algernon would return to Penshurst and his father’s sickbed from Continental exile only weeks before the reclusive old earl expired.90 Lord Leicester himself remains an enigma; as the late felix Hull wrote, he was a “friend of Charles I and Henrietta Maria, special ambassador to Denmark and france, lieutenant of Ireland, speaker of the House of Lords, [yet he] remains a shadowy, unreal figure who seldom reaches the pages of history and then usually in criticism.”91 for Edward Hyde, earl of Clarendon, Leicester was “a man of honour and fidelity to the king,” but he was also a paradox: on one hand he “expected a greater certitude in the consultation of business than the business of this world is capable of: which temper proved very inconvenient to him through the course of his life”; on the other he was hampered by “the staggering and irresolution in his nature.”92 The father of three remarkable sons, Lord Leicester himself remains a figure secluded in angry retirement among his many volumes.93 The catalogue of the second earl’s library and the voluminous reading notes he drew from his books stand as the primary documents of a reader struggling to understand what Richard Tuck describes as “a European political world of the most extraordinary instability and savagery, wracked by wars of religion and dynastic conflict.”94 In 1618 the Continent plunged into the Thirty years’ War, and it was succeeded in Leicester’s own country by the Civil Wars in which his main task would become the protection of the Sidney estates from sequestration. from 1636 to 1641 he was Charles I’s ambassador extraordinary in Paris, where he would have encountered the fullest expression of the late-Renaissance scepticism already fermenting in the time of his father and uncle. The neo-stoic stance advocated watchful quiescence for the private man, and for the public man, a ruler’s obligation to seek – and enforce – peace, a vision not easy to achieve in the carnage beginning to prevail in Europe. In work after work these issues were debated, while European presses poured forth an increasing stream of letters, contending pamphlets, histories, memoirs, and court gossip. for a time, at least, Lord Leicester collected them all.

Introduction
The books Leicester purchased between 1618 and 1626, when he was still Viscount Lisle, were recorded in the general accounts kept by his servant Philipp Maret and show that his interests were both learned and military.95 Like his brother and sisters, Leicester had first been educated at home, and in 1607, aged eleven, he matriculated at Christ Church, oxford, as had his father and uncle.96 In 1611 he became a knight of the Bath, and in 1614 served as MP for Wilton in the Addled Parliament. In the same year his father, then governor of flushing, gave him the command of a company of foot, and he served as titular colonel of the English regiment in the United Provinces from 1616, the year of his marriage, well into the 1640s. Like his father, he married secretly and ambitiously; his bride was Dorothy, daughter of Henry Percy (1564–1632), the ninth (“Wizard”) earl of northumberland. Viscount Lisle, as he then was, had made friends with northumberland towards the end of the latter’s long imprisonment (1605–21) in the Tower, and his early intellectual interests were cultivated in the earl’s circle, which included the mathematician Thomas Harriot (ca 1560–1621). He would serve as one of the executors of Harriot’s will, and the tenth earl Algernon Percy, northumberland’s heir, remained a close friend throughout his life. Lisle and his wife seem to have been typical young courtiers of the era, praised for instance in anagrammatic verses by George Tashe printed in Camden’s Remains.97 In May 1619 Lisle accompanied his brother-in-law James Hay, Viscount Doncaster (1590–1636) on an embassy dispatched to Germany by James I in his attempt to mediate between the Emperor Matthias and Protestant rebels in Bohemia after the defenestration of Prague; John Donne travelled with them as chaplain.98 In mid-June Hay’s entourage arrived in Heidelberg, and among Lisle’s accounts we find the entry, “June 29 to the Library keeper at Heidelberg 00-02-00.”99 The young book lover must have paid a visit to the renowned Palatine Library, the most important scholarly collection in northern Europe. Its overseer was Janus Gruterus, a Continental intellectual from circles familiar to the generation of Lisle’s father and uncle. Gruterus had succeeded as overseer another member of the same circle, known to both Philip Sidney and Lisle’s father: Paulus Melissus
23
(Paul Schede), who had written a cordial farewell poem to Philip Sidney as he left Germany after his embassy to the Emperor in 1577.100 Such men were the heirs of the Melanchthonian religious and political culture Philip and Robert Sidney had embraced in their youth. The neo-stoic detachment of this later generation, with its ambiguous view of monarchies and weary desire for Christian peace, was companioned by a preoccupation among late humanists such as Gruterus with encyclopedic methods and projects. They envisioned the collecting and annotating of texts as an essential task that the new sources of information proliferating during the early seventeenth century would at last make possible. This late-humanist culture – philological, stoical, irenic, and above all encyclopedic – was also that of Lisle. furthermore, the civil conflicts of the 1640s and the political tensions of the 1650s in England would pose complex problems for a family that had a well-established reputation for antiabsolutist views but whose head had a practical responsibility to preserve the family’s aristocratic status and material estate. It was the neo-stoic and encyclopedic phase of late humanism that Leicester would rely on to sustain his intellectual life during these turmoils, not only in the books acquired for his growing library but in the way he recorded what he read. Leicester was not a compiler of commonplaces on the scale of his contemporary Sir William Drake, whose fifty-four volumes of notes, writes Kevin Sharpe, constitute “the greatest archival resource we have to chart how an early modern English gentleman read, and how reading shaped his mental universe.”101 In the commonplace books that show how Leicester read the books he owned, he nevertheless left a solid body of evidence about both the library itself and his mental universe, providing an exceptional window through which to view the structure of knowledge as it was imagined by a man of his status and generation. As his servant Maret’s accounts show, courtier or not, Viscount Lisle at twenty-three was already a discriminating collector of learned works. In the months before his European journey of 1619 he had purchased, among others, two books by Girolamo Cardano, De rerum varietate libri XVII and De utilitate ex adversis capienda libri IIII,

“Sandarus” (probably nicholas Sanders, De origine ac progressu schismatis Anglicani), “Archimedes Gk & Latin,” “fonseca’s logicke” (Pedro fonseca, Institutionum dialecticarum libri octo), the Dominican Sisto da Siena’s Bibliotheca sancta, and Emanuel van Meteren’s Historia Belgica (all in the library catalogue).102 Leicester was nevertheless self-conscious about the difference between the reading of a cultured aristocrat and the techniques of serious scholarship. In a passage written in the early 1630s he observed, They that have been acquainted with me, and my Education, and me, know that I am not, nor was bred to be a Schollar, So as I have always wanted Language, Especially Greek, and never knew I wanted that, and many other parts of learning, until it was too late, and I was too old to learne them. Cato they say learned Greek at 80 years old, but many things might be thought well done in him (who was so much Esteemed by the world and deserved it) which would be thought, and indeed be faults in me, though I have not yet attained unto … half that age.103
The lack of Greek did not prevent him from collecting a number of books in Greek, and he may have made later efforts to repair the omission. In 1632 Leicester was sent to Denmark on his first embassy, and in 1636 he went to Paris, spending six fruitless years as ambassador extraordinary, charged with persuading Louis XIII to aid Charles I’s brotherin-law frederick in regaining the Palatinate. His time in france was marked by heavy book buying, if we are to judge from the many volumes on french subjects or of french origin entered eventually in the library catalogue. However, despite his interest in mathematics, he does not seem to have attempted to enter the circle around the philosopher and mathematician Marin Mersenne (1588–1648), and his embassy yielded
no results beyond an acquaintanceship with the distinguished legal theorist Hugo Grotius (1583–1645), a fellow ambassador. In 1641 he returned to England, passing from the fraught politics of the Thirty years’ War to the perplexing conflict between king and people that had developed during his absence. for three years, Leicester attempted to serve his royal master; as he wrote to his brother-in-law the tenth earl of northumberland in 1642, “your lordship knowes I am a servant, and I could not run away if I would.”104 on his return the king had appointed him Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, his grandfather Sir Henry’s old office, which in 1646–7 was briefly to be Leicester’s son Philip’s. But remembering Laud’s hostility to Leicester and mindful of the earl’s stubborn uncertainties, Charles withdrew the appointment and gave it to the earl of ormond, with whom he had been secretly corresponding.105 Leicester’s difficulty, in large part, was that he saw himself as equally obligated to king and to parliament, where a more politic nobleman would have recognized the practical necessity of choosing between them. In June of 1644 he retired to his books at Penshurst.106 Though sworn of the privy council at the Restoration in 1660, he rarely took any part in public life again. Leicester was a rigid man in his habits; among his early acts on succeeding to the title was to issue a list of rules for the conduct of his household.107 He was endowed as well with a good measure of the hot Sidney temper; in 1620 he had come to blows with his brother-in-law James Hay, and there were other, later explosions.108 He may have simply found himself in a situation neither rigour nor temper could resolve. In 1642 he wrote desolately to Hay’s widow, his sister-in-law Lucy, countess of Carlisle, I am environed by such contradictions, as I can neither get from them, nor reconcyle them.

I know not how to obtain them both, and am more likely to have neither; so now they are at such extremes, as to please the one is scarce possible, unless the other be opposed. I cannot expect the Parliament should supply me, because it is not confident of me; and as little reason is there to thinke that the king will authorise me, for he is as little confident. The one says, Why should we give money and armes, which may be employed against us? and the other says, Why should I give power and authority, which may be turned against me? … How soon I shall get myself out of this labyrinth I cannot tell your ladyship.109
It was precisely such contradictions which Leicester would spend the next two decades investigating, his method – and perhaps his therapy – the system of inquiry afforded by the encyclopedic mindset of late humanism, his resources the library he was assembling at Penshurst, to the solace of which he had now retired. Within a few years he would commission Gilbert Spencer to make a catalogue of the books with which he surrounded himself. Leicester’s early years as soldier, courtier, and ambassador had exhibited at least the outward form of that life of dutiful negotium that humanists of the preceding century praised in the life of a public man. A neo-Latin poem addressed to him on the occasion of his appointment as ambassador extraordinary to Louis XIII praises him as just such a figure: “With your talent you surpass the ancient glory of your family, and your ancestors, whom your image praises … And you defend, with fair laws, the paths of justice, To which you devote your study night and day.”110 When Leicester withdrew to his books at Penshurst he was apparently well prepared for the otium that ought to have been his reward. That this may have been his ambition, or that someone in his circle thought of him in such terms, is suggested by his portrayal as the learned, wise, and noble “Synesius” in the Arcadian romance Theophania, written by an unknown author about 1645.111 To all appearances
25
Leicester thus represented an example of the latehumanist ideal: a well-educated nobleman (as well as Latin and a little Greek, he read french, Italian, and Spanish), one with international intellectual contacts, a library rich in classical authors, a refined hand,112 and time at his disposal to reflect on the public events in which his family had played a role since the 1540s. Like other men of the early modern period, he would have regarded his library and his study as ideal locations for just such reflection, instances of the “arrièreboutique,” that place of perfect intellectual freedom of which Montaigne wrote in his essay “on Solitude.” Throughout the political events of the 1640s and 50s Leicester collected books assiduously; unlike some other learned aristocrats, he does not seem to have been interested in artefacts, and it was his son Philip who would attempt to enrich the family’s collection of paintings.113 As ambassador extraordinary in Paris he found himself in the greatest of all European cities for the number and quality of its libraries. His correspondence of this period is diplomatic or concerned with affairs at Penshurst, and regrettably gives no indication of which Parisian libraries he might have visited. However, the library catalogue (194v03) lists a copy of Louis Jacob’s Traicté des plus belles bibliothèques publiques et particulières qui ont esté et qui sont à présent dans le monde (Paris, 1644). Jacob’s book is a corrected edition of Gabriel naudé’s Advis pour dresser une bibliothèque (1627), with a second part describing (in many cases on limited or word-of-mouth evidence) libraries around the world from ancient times to the present day, including what the author could find out about those in England. Part 2 is devoted to the libraries of france, of which Jacob observes: “france exceedes today all other kingdoms in learned men and libraries.”114 from Jacob’s immensely long list, if from nothing else, the second earl would have learned the heights to which collecting and the display of learning could aspire. Several sources augment the catalogue in documenting the books Leicester sought out in this period. The first is a bill for books purchased from Richard

Whitaker in 1631–2, the second another from George Thomason dated 1650.115 Both have been used to document the purchase of specific books in this edition. Most important in fleshing out what we learn from the catalogue, however, is the record of intensive reading, including occasional notes about acquisition, constituted by his commonplace books (see figure 6). As overlapping, datable references show, Leicester kept several volumes in progress at the same time; the latest such citation, from 1662, actually appears in a volume which was being compiled in the years after his return from Paris.116 note taking ceases in the early 1660s, when it is apparent from complaints in the earl’s letters that his eyesight is weakening and his hands becoming arthritic. All of this material, except for some late excerpts copied for him by a servant from European newsletters, is in his own hand; he worked, it seems, in solitude. To manage his large volumes and habitual small slips of paper, Leicester developed extensive cross-references, a habit of organization that also characterizes his library catalogue. finally, not all of the books he cited appear in the catalogue; possibly these are references to books borrowed from others, or casually encountered. Leicester’s note-taking Buckinghamshire contemporary Sir William Drake at one point cautions himself, “Be sure not to study much books of learning for they divert business, take up the memory too much, and keep one from more useful things.”117 However, it was precisely the meditative perusal of learned writings scorned by Drake that was central – perhaps even psychologically necessary – to Leicester’s later life. In 1683 his son Algernon would tell the judge trying him for treason, “I believe there is a brother of mine here has forty quires of paper written by my father, and never one sheet of them was published; but he writ his own mind to see what he could think of it another time, and blot it out again, may be.”118 What he was describing, as
Leicester’s notes confirm, are the late-humanist practices of copying, collation, and evaluation of sources that Algernon daily witnessed his father engage in. However, there was a significant difference between the intellectual culture of an ambitious Jacobean courtier like the first earl and that of a frustrated midcentury grandee, and Leicester’s intensive note taking strikingly illuminates that difference. In his hands his father’s notebooks multiply into a full-scale humanist enterprise, but one much more inward looking, speculative, and less oriented towards the immediate issues of politics. In the second earl, in fact, we discover an interesting paradox: the political culture of anti-absolutism is inflected through the operations of an obsessively orderly, precedent-conscious mind.119 Whether in residence at Penshurst, serving his country in Denmark or Paris, or as a military leader cooling his heels in oxford awaiting the king’s instructions, Leicester prepared annotations for these huge folios (the scattered physical evidence suggests he used slips of paper) as intensively as he annotated his bible. once the catalogue was made he would sometimes enter new titles there as well, often with place and date of publication. The sources of his commonplacing were invariably the books in his library, an amazing number of which he carried with him in trunks even on a 1644 journey northwards that was interrupted when Prince Rupert’s men caught up with him in Chester.120 Clarendon’s often-quoted description of the second earl of Leicester as “a man of great parts, very conversant in books, and much addicted to the mathematics … and in truth rather a speculative than a practical man”121 suggests the level of passionate abstraction that by the 1640s the second earl deliberately chose to inhabit. one aspect of that apparently complete and selfsufficient intellectual world, however, is almost closed to us. This is the interest in mathematics commented

on by Clarendon and which made Leicester a friend of Thomas Harriot, whom he had met in the circle of the “Wizard” earl of northumberland. In a note of rare affection, Leicester would later write of “Mr. Harriote that same Mathematician, and admirable Scholler, my particular frend and preceptor.”122 There are several references in Leicester’s notebooks to his regard for Harriot, and the feeling must have been shared since the great mathematician, who died in 1621, made the young viscount one of the executors of his will. Harriot left him some copies of his mathematical papers (no longer traceable) and charged him with realizing
the value of his books to defray his debts.123 Perhaps Leicester retained some of them himself, for his interest in the topic is amply testified to by the number and quality of the mathematical works in his catalogue. He owned the editio princeps of Archimedes (in Greek and Latin) published in Basle in 1544, and the Latin edition of 1558 as well. At least seventeen editions of texts by or attributed to Euclid are listed, in addition to other works on geometry by Marini Ghetaldi, Johann Beyer, Leonard Digges, Albrecht Dürer, oronce finé, Thomas Hood, and others.

Christoph Clavius on the Sphaera of Sacrobosco, a range of arithmetical works (a very serious study in the period) by Jacques Chauvet, Clavius again, Diophantus Alexandrinus, Gemma frisius, Robert Record, Simon Stevin, John Wilkins, and Christian Wurstisen. The presence of William oughtred’s Trigonometria (1657) indicates that Leicester kept up with advanced studies in the field. And in addition there are many works on such related fields as navigation, optics, mensuration, artillery practice, and astronomy. There are very few allusions to mathematics in the commonplace books, so it seems likely that Leicester kept a set of separate mathematical notebooks, but none are to be found among the family papers. We will never know if Leicester made any contribution of his own to the mathematics of the period, though it is evident that he was absorbed in the study of them throughout much of his life. Though he possessed an excellent collection of the canonical Latin texts, Leicester was not much interested in Latin literature for its own sake. He almost never cited the poets, except for a few allusions to Juvenal and ovid. There are many references to a substantial range of ancient historians, biographers, and anecdotalists – Tacitus, Livy, Plutarch, Josephus, and Aulus Gellius in particular – but what is marked, in both the catalogue and his notebooks, is the contemporaneity of his interests. Except in CKS U1475 z1/5 (a “dictionary” of Latin words and concepts for which he entered citations in the early 1650s), modern references far outnumber those from the classics. Unlike his father and uncle, he had no taste for poetry, preferring the drama, if we are to judge from the contemporary plays the catalogue lists (including folio works of Shakespeare, Jonson, Beaumont and fletcher, and Margaret Cavendish, smaller collections by John Lyly and Thomas Goffe, and a further dozen editions of individual plays or masques). Citations to English authors are frequent – to Bede, Matthew Paris, William of Malmesbury, Hooker, Camden, Coke, and current English controversialists such as William Prynne – but the intellectual world in which Leicester moves with greatest ease is that of the historians, chronographers, and court gossips of late sixteenth- and early seventeenthcentury Continental Latin culture. Indeed, though Leicester cited Tacitus and Livy as well as other classical historians, he was just as likely to resort for information about the antique past to books such as Pierre Ayrault’s Rerum ab omni antiqui-
tate judicatorum pandectae (1588); his copy (3v28) can be identified as the edition of 1615. Ayrault must have been his constant companion, for throughout his decades of note taking he refers continually to “Aerodii Pandect.”124 Ayrault (1536–1601), a pupil of the great Jacques Cujas, was one of the major civil advocates of his time in france, and President of Angers during the disorders of the League. His heavy folio is not the collection of laws its name would suggest. Rather, it comprises a vast historical commentary on issues in the civil law, following somewhat the same categories as Justinian’s Institutes, but relying almost exclusively on classical authors. His pages are full of citations and anecdotes from Greek and Roman historians and lawgivers, all thoroughly indexed. Leicester clearly used his copy to quarry Ayrault for historical information of every sort. one commonplace book (CKS U1475 z1/9) has datable entries from 1638 to 1645; in it Leicester’s references are wide-ranging, but almost entirely to contemporary or recently published Latin and french historians and memoirists, or drawn from his considerable collection of such chronographers as Sethus Calvisius and Johann Carion. We find excerpts from and references to, among others, Giovanni Catena’s Vita del gloriosissimo Papa Pio Quinto; Jean de Serres, Inventaire general de l’histoire de France (a favourite also with his father); nicolas Vignier the Elder’s Bibliothèque historiale; Laurent Bouchel’s Decretorum Ecclesiae Gallicanae ex conciliis eiusdem oecumenicis … libri VIII; and in particular a book that must have absorbed him for many weeks, the letters of that astute observer of the papal court Arnaud, Cardinal d’ossat. In a later commonplace book (CKS U1475 z1/4, datable entries in the 1650s) Leicester cites at least once each of such authors as Plutarch, Aulus Gellius, Livy, and Pomponius Mela. But by far the largest number of his references and excerpts come from works already mentioned, and from books such as Luis del Mármol Caravajal, Descripcion general de Affrica; Alessandro zilioli, Delle historie memorabili de suoi tempi; Esteban de Garibay y zamalloa, Compendio historial di las Chronicas … de Todos los reynos de España (another favourite of his father’s); and again d’ossat and Pierre Ayrault. Tacitus and Livy appear with some regularity throughout these commonplace books, and the earl refers at one point to his “collections from Livy,” now apparently lost.125 However, these Latin authors, so central to the theorists of classical republicanism, do not seem to be

Introduction
cited because Leicester either agreed or disagreed with their ideas. Rather, like the other works he perused so intently, they are used as source books for the collation and comparison of the ideas of different authors and for the evaluation of their authority. The Reports and Institutes of Chief Justice Coke are exploited in the same way, as are the works of Leicester’s sometime friend, Hugo Grotius. Leicester had a large number of the great jurist’s works in his library and cites them often. However, a long entry from De jure belli ac pacis on servitude and liberty makes it plain that Leicester sees Grotius less as an author making an argument than as a source of learning to be situated in a complex of related ideas, in this particular case biblical.126 Two loose bifolia in CKS U1475 z1/9 suggest he may have attempted at some point to put his reading to work in a draft treatise on civil society, but the argument is indiscernible amid the welter of citations.127 Leicester quarried his excerpts almost entirely from volumes in his own library, and they are often very long, as for example in the exceptional body of selections from the letters of Cardinal d’ossat. These passages, stretching across three decades, must have taken him many weeks, perhaps months, to copy out.128 Evidently the very activity of copying was important to him, since he can hardly have needed a record of such extensive excerpts from a text of which he apparently possessed two copies. At one point he observes while reading Leo Africanus, “This, in chronologye and due order of history should have been sayd before, but the author not considering methode, takes this time to shew the originall of the Mamelukes, by beginning with Saladin who first invented that discipline.”129 As this and other entries illustrate, Leicester did not use his library as the basis for either a chronological or discursive approach to the record of human knowledge. Rather, it is “method,” the ongoing activity of organization and annotation, that matters to him, the constant process of assimilation during which one authority is compared with another (often with some scepticism) and where words and concepts are subjected to etymological, if
29
not genuinely philological, analysis. Categories are linked to each other, and one volume to another, in a system which cannot be fully penetrated because essential parts of it – a lost commonplace volume excerpted by Thomas Birch,130 the mathematical notes, the “collections from Livy” – have now disappeared. In its modernity and historicity, Leicester’s reading and collecting were focused on the current world quite as much as was that of Philip and Robert Sidney a generation earlier. At the same time he saw history, both antique and modern, from a consistently moral vantage point, and his commentaries and marginal glosses were deployed to test and judge the worth and authority of his sources in that light. Though seemingly sceptical in character, this is just as likely to be a practice he drew from the rhetorical works of Philip Melanchthon, with their probative method, designed to set human knowledge in its ethical setting and direct the unnumbered commonplace collectors of Renaissance Europe to the constant testing of their ideas within a moral framework. In this respect he represents, in a later generation, the philosophical and moral position of an earlier generation of Sidneys, with their admiration of Melanchthon and his followers. Among Leicester’s resources for a moral reading of history was a fine collection of bibles in different languages. one of his notes shows him diligently comparing the Spanish and English translations of the sacred text,131 and his library catalogue lists no fewer than sixteen different editions of the bible, in six languages besides Hebrew and Greek. He cites Scripture constantly, and to many different purposes: historical, etymological, and theological, by no means exclusively in the version of Tremellius and Junius.132 In the 1630s Leicester had engaged in an intensive period of biblical studies using as his companion Henry Ainsworth’s Annotations upon the five bookes of Moses, and the booke of Psalmes (1622; catalogue 5r22).133 one of the few extant printed books with marginalia in his hand is his personal bible (see Appendix). This is a copy of the King James version, which, in the same questioning spirit, he

The same work is cited later in the volume (519), this time casually under the heading “death.” 127 Ann Moss, “The Politica of Justus Lipsius and the Commonplace-Book,” cautions shrewdly against the modern assumption that a work composed of citations could not achieve a discursive purpose; see as well Ann Blair’s chapter “Compilers, Their Motivations and Methods,” in Too Much to Know: Managing Scholarly Information before the Modern Age, 173–229. 128 In CKS U1475 z1/4, /8, /9, and CKS U1475 z9. 129 CKS U1475 z9, 254. 130 for Birch, see note 16 above. 131 CKS U1475 z47/1, slip b. 132 The bibles are 19v24–9 and 21r01–11.

annotated so intensively in every available blank space that it has nearly fallen apart.134 It is in his devotion to biblical study that we begin to sense the rationale for Leicester’s attempt to systematize the record of contemporary history as he understood it, and perhaps his seeming lack of concern, manifested in the varying organization of his commonplace books, for ever bringing his system to perfection. Among the books he cited most often is St Augustine’s De civitate dei, a work he refers to constantly as well as to the accompanying commentary by Juan Luis Vives (see 15r06). If Leicester drew on Ayrault for historical information on antique custom, and on chronographers like Calvisius to situate events in human time, it was to the last of the great Latin authors that he turned for an understanding of the divine plan for human history. Augustine treats the city of God “both as it exists in this world of time, a stranger among the ungodly, living by faith, and as it stands in the security of its everlasting seat.”135 His insistence on the separation between the city of man and the city of God would also have established for Leicester a fundamentally eschatological vision of the order of history, one which justified both his absorption in the intrigues of the papal court and his devout study of God’s word. for this angry, reclusive man the central activity of philosophical and moral humanism could only take the form of exegesis, and his library provided the essential location for that constant labour. “Lord Lisleys Study” When he died in 1626 the first earl of Leicester left behind, as his commonplace book entries testify, a mod-
est but not ignoble collection of books, likely housed in one of the studies mentioned in the 1623 inventory of Penshurst.136 When the second earl died forty years later, the books had been absorbed into a substantial and distinguished private library, housed in an upper room 43 feet long, running almost the length of one side of a courtyard at Penshurst Place. Documents among the family papers, when taken together, provide us with a picture of this room, which was in use for over a century and a quarter. Architectural historian Susie West has been able to reconstruct “Lord Lisleys Study” as it was about 1665, with its fireplace, its cupboards and wall shelving, and the rich hangings that attest to its owner’s elite status.137 Because of his marital and social connections with the earls of northumberland, Leicester would have known well the old Library at Petworth Place, with its many books, paintings, and maps.138 Like Petworth, Penshurst was a courtier’s house, noble in its scale and its furnishings, and so too was its library. Testaments of 1632 and 1642 mention the books and papers in Leicester’s study,139 but the first to speak of a library is his third will, of 1665, which refers to books “in my Library Evidence house and studdy in my dwelling house called Penshurst place … and in my Studdy and evidence house in my Messuage called Leicester house … and all my books in other places.”140 few books can have been kept at Leicester House in London during the second earl’s lifetime; a letter of Hawkins to his master shows that when the town mansion was cleared for letting in 1640, all the books and papers in the study and elsewhere were packed into one trunk, and from 1644 onward, Leicester resided almost exclusively at Penshurst.141 Throughout the per-

Consequently there is no testamentary information as to the formal disposal of his books. 137 Dr West undertook the project of reconstructing the architectural and decorative history of the Penshurst library at the invitation of the editors; her findings are reported in West, “Studies and Status: Spaces for Books in Seventeenth-Century Penshurst Place, Kent,” on which the discussion at this point is chiefly based. 138 Wood, “Van Dyck and the Earl of northumberland: Taste and Collecting in Stuart England,” 294. 139 The will of 1632 is CKS U1475 T325/4; it specifies “I do desire and appointe that all my bookes papers and other thinges remainenge in my studdy at Penshurst and all my bookes as I have at Baynardes Castle, or which I caried with me in my Journey may be preserved and safelie kept for the intentes and purposes as are here after mentioned.” Leicester leaves his books and papers to Philip, Lord Lisle. Interestingly in view of the grandeur of his 1665 disposition, he specifies that if enough money is not raised after the residue of his goods and chattels are sold to pay expenses, that his executors shall sell the remainder of his books and papers as they see fit. Deeds, evidences, and writings, however, are to remain at Penshurst. The will of 1642 is CKS U1475 T325/2, with another version at T325/3. It speaks of books and papers in his study at Penshurst and at his house in St Martin in the fields (presumably Leicester House) and “those I carry with me in my Journey” (this must be the trip north of 1643 in which his books were impounded; see above). The location of the books at Penshurst is described as in the previous will, but Philip and his heirs are to have his books and papers to “have and enjoy forever.” 140 TnA PRoB 11/355, ff. 215r–v, 337–43 (probate 19 Dec. 1677). 141 CKS U1475 C132/106, Hawkins to Leicester, 9/19 April 1640.

iod in question Penshurst, though added to by both Sir Henry Sidney and the first earl, retained its character as a medieval defensible house (that is, one with walls), equipped like other such houses with a place to keep family documents safe. At Penshurst this “Evidence House” was in the Record Tower. As for the study and library we can trace their locations beginning with the inventory made in 1623, which works its way through the house, indicating separate apartments set aside for the king, for visitors of high rank, and for the head of the house and his family, among them the King’s Lodging, Leicester’s Lodging, and Sidney’s Lodging.142 Remarkably for the period, no less than three studies are mentioned in this inventory. The first was a room in Sidney’s Lodging (f. 11r); the second “my Lord Lisleys
142 CKS U1500 E120.
Study” (f. 20v), used by the second earl as Viscount Lisle, when he had not yet succeeded to the title; and the third “the studye within the foresaid Chamber,” that is, in the lodging over the end of the Great Hall (f. 21v, and see figure 7). The study in Sidney’s Lodging contained “Item three peecis of course tapestrye / one lowe ould stoole covered with red velvet.” That in the lodging at the end of the Great Hall contained “Item one little square table with a Turkye Carpet / two stooles with backes of black velvet frenged / with orenge tawney silke one black leather / close stoole with a pan.” But for “my Lord Lisleys Study” the inventory lists six fair pieces of tapestry with imagery work (that is, containing figures rather than landscape alone), a high chair and four high stools covered with “haircoloured”

gold upholstery, a square table with a wainscot frame, a green carpet, a court cupboard, a Turkey carpet, green window curtains, window cloths (single curtains), andirons, a shovel, tongs, and a brass chimney cap (f. 20v). Apart from the lodgings always ready for the king, and the rooms occupied by the head of the family, this was the most expensively decorated room in Penshurst Place. Where was it located and what do its furnishings tell us? Penshurst has been much altered over the centuries, and it is necessary to work backwards from the nineteenth-century transformations of George Devey (ca 1851–70) and John Biagio Rebecca (1818) to reconstruct the layout of the house as it was about 1665. Using several documents,143 Susie West shows that the study in Sidney’s Lodging (E on plan, figure 7) was a small room off that lodging, located on the first (that is, upper) floor of the west range, and that the study in the lodging at the end of the Great Hall (I) was on the same floor, but above the porch, accessed via the east end of the present Great Hall. “Lord Lisleys Study” proves to be a large room (B) occupying the first (that is, upper) story of Sir Henry Sidney’s loggia of 1579, an area that today is part of the private apartments. In Rebecca’s alterations of 1818 this upper room was subdivided into a corridor and bedrooms, but in the elite house of the seventeenth century it presented a quite different picture. West describes Lord Lisle’s study, with its central fireplace and lit by three great south-facing windows and two to the north: “The President’s Tower and the loggia were private retreats away from the formal state route through the house … [the] processional route for visitors [that] terminated either side of the great hall in the King’s lodgings and the long galleries.”144 “The cultivation of learning and the cultured accumulation of books and other objects of study,” Paul nelles writes, “formed part of a distinct seventeenth-century ethos of nobility.”145 What had begun at Penshurst as a utilitarian collection of books had now become a grand library that, like the studies and libraries of erudite Europeans Leicester had seen abroad, expressed his confidence in the value of learning to the elite class of courtiers he and his family repre-
sented. Its spatial location away from the processional route through the house nonetheless remains consistent with the sense that even the best library rooms were not viewed as spaces to receive the public, a role they would not acquire until the nineteenth century. At first the library room was hung with the tapestries described in the 1623 inventory, and below them there would have been fitted shelves. We can assume these were wall shelving because inventories customarily described only movable items (or more rarely, removable fittings), and in 1743 a carpenter, John Chapman, was required to take down the shelving (see below). By 1677, in addition to other changes, the tapestries of 1623 had been removed, which suggests to West the need for more shelving; by that time the room may have held at least 80 linear feet of book presses and shelving, though likely not enough for all the books in the catalogue. Perhaps this is why, by the time he died, the second earl seems to have retreated to a smaller room to work and read. The study to the east of the Great Hall (J) was, historically, the preserve of his daughter Dorothy, the widowed countess of Sunderland, when she resided at Penshurst from 1643 to 1650; even to this day the area is known as the Sunderland Room.146 or perhaps he might have moved into the study off Sidney’s Lodging (E), possibly originally his father’s, in the area where his wife lived until her death in 1659. But aging and arthritic as he now was, he most likely kept his working library and his commonplace books in his bedroom, which West believes was in the President’s Tower, with a door issuing into the library (A).147 Two very late booklists suggest what the contents of this study-bedroom may have been. on 16 January 1675/6 Leicester wrote out a list of titles, prompted by what was apparently a violent removal of books from his study by persons unknown (he calls them “spoylers”). Some weeks later he made a companion list when many of the books were returned “from Mr. Alston, by Alexander Bell’s cart.” The second list is dated 24 feb. 1675/6, but it is uncertain whether the dates on these lists recorded the dates of the removal and return of the books respectively, or the making of
143 The documents comprise the 1623 inventory (CKS U1500 E120); “Measure of Rooms at Penshurst” (CKS U1500 E122), calendared as ca 1700 but more likely early seventeenth century (West, “Studies and Status,” 275n); and the 1677 inventory made when the second earl died (CKS U1475 E50; HMC VI, 634–47). CKS U1500 E164 is a sketch plan calendared as ca 1800; it was probably made in order to let the house in the late eighteenth century and before the first of the nineteenth-century restorations. 144 West, “Studies and Status,” 285. 145 nelles, “Libraries, Books and Learning, from Bacon to the Enlightenment,” 28. 146 See West, “Studies and Status,” 283–4 and 288, for a discussion of this room. 147 West, “Studies and Status,” 163.

Introduction
the lists.148 Also uncertain is the date when the books were actually taken; at the end of the second list, which is almost a duplicate of the first, Leicester noted that he had bought back his copy of “Hobbs his Philosophy” in Ridgewell (probably the Essex village of that name) about three years after his books were stolen, and since he died in 1677 the incursion must have taken place at least that long before the lists of 1675/6 were written out, and possibly longer.149 Both documents are in the elderly owner’s quavering hand, and at the bottom of the first list he writes, “I cannot tell the number of English Books of a lesser volume which are took away in the spoyl. Many miscellanies & concordances are missing: so that upon serious consideration, I think that my losse at the least amounts to two hundreth pounds. Upon 5 or 6 revisions of my Books, I misse about 44 which I am sure were in my study before the spoylers came there.” of the total of 120 decipherable titles in both documents, only fifteen or so represent works possibly listed in the library catalogue. In several cases there seem to be different editions of the same work, for example in the library a 12-volume edition of Chrysostom (33v09) but in the study another edition, in eight volumes. The wording of the lists suggests that despite having established the library in the large room known as “Lord Lisleys Study” and setting Gilbert Spencer to work on a catalogue of the books housed there, as early as the mid-1650s Leicester, aging and more isolated, may have reverted to working in a smaller room. His withdrawal is evident also in the books he kept close by him: those taken by the “spoylers” are not only markedly theological but drawn from the controversies of another era. Among the English and Dutch “Annotations,” Bucer, Melanchthon, and many others we find the complete works of Richard Greenham, Edward Reynolds, Gervase Babington, William Cowper, William Perkins, and John Davenant. These English churchmen were moderate or leaning towards radicalism, which from a Sidney we would expect, but all are of a previous generation; only Edward Reynolds could be described as even a contemporary of the old earl.150
33
The same orientation characterizes the volumes listed in both the catalogue and the spoylers’ lists.151 As for the “spoylers” themselves, no information about them or their invasion has been found. That Leicester’s copy of Hobbes turned up in distant Ridgewell suggests that something untoward occurred. Perhaps a few local men were simply taking vengeance on him for some unspecified wrong; Leicester seems to have been as quarrelsome in maturity as he was when he came to blows with James Hay as a young man: in the 1650s he had maintained a furious contention with the intruded vicar of Penshurst, John Maudit.152 The Library at Penshurst after 1665 In the last of his three wills (28 September 1665) Lord Leicester attempted to make provision for the future of his collections: he left the said bookes papers and other thinges … to be used by my said son Viscount Lisle during his life. And after his decease I will and give the same to my grandchild Robert Sidney his eldest sonne for his use during his life and after to remaine from one heire Male to another … And I desire and require … that every of them in his tyme do carefully look to and preserve the same for the good and benefitt of those that shall succeed them as I have done in my time and larger increased them.153
By now “Lord Lisleys Study” must – for him at least – have resembled the erudite libraries he had encountered in Heidelberg and Paris, or read about in Jacob’s Traicte. The inclusion of his papers in the legacy as well as his printed books projects the significance of his commonplace books into the future and signals his hope, never to be fulfilled, that later Sidneys would benefit from his encyclopedic writings in the same way that his father had preserved his knowledge for his own son. yet it is precisely in 1665 that additions ceased to be made to the catalogue of the library to which he was so devoted. Since Lord Leicester lived on until 1677, why

An additional note dated 28 feb increases this number to 44.

The Library of the Sidneys of Penshurst Place
should this have happened? no explanation has yet emerged for the cessation of the library catalogue. It might have been occasioned by the very making of the will only months earlier, with its magisterial disposition of the books and papers. And some letters (for example “H” for “History”) are so full of added material that a recopying would soon have been necessary. Possibly Leicester had withdrawn permanently to his study; in 1660 he complained in a letter to Algernon that his son had left him “sick, solitary and sad at Penshurst.” “Disus of writing, hath made it uneasy to me, age makes it hard, and the weakeness of sight and hand makes it almost impossible.”154 An unidentified member of the household was occasionally helping to copy excerpts for his commonplace books. The invasion of the spoylers, already mentioned, may be the origin of a rumour that circulated in the late seventeenth century that the Penshurst library had burned, indeed in a later version that a conflagration had destroyed Penshurst itself. The story first appears in an entry for 1671 in Anthony Wood’s Life and Times. The Sidneys, he wrote, from the time of King Edward VI have been collectors of books and have furnished such an eminent library that there were 3 thousand folios in it, besides others, and som MSS. Seven score years in collecting. This library was burnt between 9 and 12 on Maundy Thursday morning 1666, when severall fiers at that time were thereabouts.155
Wood made his entry five years after the supposed fire, and what he tells us is temptingly informative: “3 thousand folios” is a plausible eye-estimate of the size of the library at that time, and “seven score years in collecting” suggests that though the Sidneys did not begin to establish what we would call a library till the early seventeenth century, the family were regarded as historic custodians of a notable collection. Wood’s correspondence, on which he based a good deal of the material in the Life and Times, is in the Bodleian, but it is arranged by letter writer, not by date, which means that his informant, of unknown reliability, may never
be found. Moreover, in all the De L’Isle family papers there is no mention whatsoever at this or any later date of a fire at Penshurst: not to a fire in itself, not to the carting away of burned timbers, not to rebuilding, not in letters, and not in account books.156 With one exception no other seventeenth-century references to this event have been found, nor any later ones in the work of such early Kent antiquarians as Edward Hasted, who in the late eighteenth century wrote in some detail about Penshurst.157 The exception is Thomas Smith’s preliminary essay for the catalogue of the Cottonian Library (1696): Among the illustrious men who had frequent contact with him [Cotton], whether in speech or by letter, in their tireless zeal for the collection of books … [was] Robert Sydney earl of Leicester. But these noble libraries so eminently worthy of their owners have fallen victim … to the corrosive effects of time on the heritage and goods of noblemen, or have suffered irreparable loss in an actual fire, as was the lamentable fate of the Sydney library which the illustrious earl, his son and successors inspired by the same love of literature had each in turn enriched with great acquisitions and which was destroyed some thirty years ago when the great house of Penshurst went up in flames.158
The anecdote, repeated a generation after the event, suggests that a fire of some sort did take place, yet the very extravagance of the description raises suspicions. Penshurst still stands, despite later changes very much the aged pile that Ben Jonson described. The anecdote of the fire, and the fact that the latest dated book in the catalogue is 1665, would suggest that an accident of some sort did befall Lord Leicester’s treasured collection, but might it have been connected with the incursion of the spoylers? The library room was still in existence in 1743, and there is enough evidence in the way of extant volumes to show that the second earl of Leicester’s library as it was in 1665 provided at least a portion of the collection sold off on behalf of that “master-bookseller” Thomas osborne by
154 Leicester to Algernon Sidney in London, 30 Aug. 1660, in Blencowe, ed., Sydney Papers, 205. 155 Wood, Life and Times, II, 213. The note on Penshurst appears on the flyleaf of Wood’s manuscript diary for 1671 (Bodleian Library, MS Wood’s Diaries 15). 156 The late felix Hull, the archivist who handled every single roll, volume, and leaf in the collection except for very recent deposits, states that at no point had he seen any reference to such a fire (felix Hull, personal communication, 16 May 1998), and historical research on the physical fabric of Penshurst Place by the late Jill Allibone and by Susie West has found nothing to suggest that a fire took place. 157 There is an extended description of Penshurst in the mid-eighteenth century, plus an account of Red Leafe House, where Gilbert Spencer resided, in Hasted, History … of the County of Kent, I, 401–29. 158 In Catalogue of the Manuscripts in the Cottonian Library, 1696, ed. Tite, 44. The catalogue was originally published as Catalogus librorum manuscriptorum Bibliothecae Cottonianae (oxford, 1696), with Smith’s essay in Latin.
Introduction
the auctioneer W. Shropshire in thirty-one sessions in January and february 1742/3.159 Readers and Collectors: The Later Sidneys, 1677–1743 The history of the library of the early Sidneys traces a familiar trajectory. Initially, for Sir Henry Sidney, his wife Lady Mary, and his son Philip, books were functional objects purchased for household use, for the education of the young or (increasingly with Philip) to sustain the intellectual life of a young man of political interests and promise. Despite the evident learning of Sir Henry and the poetic career of his son, there is no evidence that either of them conceived of building a private library of the kind Philip at least must have encountered in his sojourns abroad. With Robert, the first earl, this situation begins to change. Unlike his father and brother, Robert Sidney was finally able to settle at Penshurst for at least two decades. There he assembled in one place the books he needed for his life as a landowner and courtier and to educate his sons, a collection documented in the references in his commonplace books and by the fortunate circumstance that he signed at least some of the volumes he owned. In Robert the second earl we meet with a committed collector, an enthusiastic commonplacer, and – as his will testifies – a nobleman thoroughly aware of the significance of a great library in a fine room as an exemplum of his learning and the status of his lineage. Though Leicester seems rarely to have signed his books, Gilbert Spencer’s catalogue, the great commonplace books, and the inventories and plans of the house tell the story of his collecting. But in the successive codicils of Leicester’s will, there is a lessening of that awareness. The reasons why that happened are partly to be traced to the old earl’s conflicts with his sons, and theirs with each other, conflicts thoroughly studied by Jonathan Scott.160 As well, the situation of the book collector in England was changing, as is shown by the advent of auction sales in the 1670s and the establishment of collections far larger and more sumptuous than Leicester’s. There is, furthermore, the tendency of great lineages to weaken in later generations; the Sidneys were in fact
35
more fortunate than many magnate families to have sustained their power and influence for nearly two centuries, despite Sir Henry’s overwork, Philip’s death, the wearying court duties of the debt-ridden first earl, and the withdrawal from public life of the second. By the early eighteenth century, however, the family was no longer an influential presence in court life, and the library that had passed to four successive earls of Leicester was no longer the focus of their interest. Books – perhaps many books – left Penshurst in these decades, we cannot tell when or how,161 and the library as a symbol of their status gave way to the contemporary fashion for pictures and collections. Leicester’s great library was about to become a commodity. If we trace the history of the Penshurst library after the second earl’s death even part way through the wills which successively disposed of it, we end up with one history of the library, and if we look at the bookplates and volumes still at Penshurst today, we end up with a somewhat different one.162 Wills may leave libraries to designated heirs, but the books themselves nevertheless pile up and drift away, pass from hand to hand, lie forgotten in corners, their numbers, diversity, and accessibility to everyone in the family constantly subverting the forces of institutionalized history. So it has been at Penshurst. In the series of codicils with which Lord Leicester tormented his executors during the dozen years between the making of his will in 1665 and his death in 1677, there was no further mention of books until the fifth, dated 4 April 1671. There, the bequest to his oldest son Philip, Viscount Lisle, was revoked and the books, papers, and writings, lumped with “Chattels, household stuffe moveables and plate,” were divided between Algernon and Leicester’s third son, Henry Sidney. In a sixth, 19 January 1671/2, books, papers, chattels were willed to Henry unless Henry died first, in which case they were to pass to Algernon. In a seventh codicil (7 August 1673) Henry’s portion was willed to Algernon should Henry die before his father or shortly thereafter. In an eighth codicil (6 April 1675) the earl’s goods, plate, money, jewels, “and other my personal Estate whatsoever” (which would normally have included the books) were willed to his grandson Robert if Henry and Algernon should die before probate.

The Library of the Sidneys of Penshurst Place
Henry not only outlived Robert the second earl but Philip the third earl, Algernon Sidney, and Leicester’s grandson Robert the fourth earl. Thus the old library at Penshurst, or what remained after whatever accidents might have befallen it, ought legally to have become the property of Henry, now earl of Romney, whose life as a court favourite was conducted in London at his house in St James’s Square, and in his residences at Blacketts, on the Swale, in east Kent, and the “Queen’s House,” Greenwich. Romney’s own will, dated 20 April 1699, bestowed his books and pictures on his nephew John Sidney (later the sixth earl), but a codicil of 21 July 1702 revoked that bequest and left the books directly to his older nephew Philip, by now the fifth earl: “And I doe hereby give to my nephew the Earle of Leicester all my bookes and desire the same may be placed and kept at Penshurst for the use of his Lordship and those who shall succeed him in that seate.”163 Romney was not always this benign; immediately on the second earl’s death in 1677 he had descended on Penshurst and arranged to cut down a very large number of valuable trees,164 but there is no evidence that he ever moved the Penshurst books that were supposedly his property to any of his houses, or that his own books were moved to Penshurst. In the collection at Penshurst today, where a few titles from the old library can still be found, only a single volume may possibly have belonged to him.165 Philip, the third earl, was a friend of Dryden and Congreve, and after his death was eulogized by both Tom D’Urfey and Elkanah Settle.166 He was also, apparently, the patron of the little neoplatonic puritan Utopia established at Sheen Abbey by the minister Peter Sterry.167 However little evidence remains of his book buying. A few documents provide glimpses: in
february 1676 he purchased a “book of the Quakers” and in november 1681 “A great bok of memoirs” and “A book of Absalom” (i.e., Dryden’s “Absalom and Achitophel”).168 The sale of his large collection of Italian paintings and drawings in 1701 included “A book of Heathen Gods and Goddesses,” and “2 books of Roman Triumphs.”169 Hilary Maddicott has made a close study of the third earl’s life both in politics and as art collector, and she comments on his taste for poetry, history, politics, the visual culture of classical civilization, and religious non-conformity.170 Robert, the fourth earl, purchased a french bible in Paris in 1669 which is still at Penshurst, but he seems to have spent his time siring children, of whom he had fifteen. However, when the title of earl of Leicester passed in 1702 to his son Philip, the fifth earl, it was to a man who may have been genuinely interested in books. Philip (1676–1705) held the title for only three years, and no records of what he bought during that time have been located. However, at least seventeen books at Penshurst and eight in other libraries bear his quarto and folio bookplates, dated 1704 (see figure 8). Both are of the same “early armorial” design and came from the workshop of William Jackson, who between 1695 and 1715 made up engraved bookplates which he hoped to sell to titled families.171 The fifth earl seems to have ordered the ones he purchased inserted in the volumes still in the old Penshurst library, and they have proved useful in identifying still-extant books from the period before 1665 (see Appendix). They also provide evidence that when the books were sold in 1743 a few of them, for whatever reason, were not sent up to London. Signs of several women collectors represent almost the only evidence documenting later purchases added

to the books at Penshurst during the thirty-five years between the death of the fifth earl in 1705 and the first attempts by earl Jocelin to sell the books about 1740. A number of books still at Penshurst bear the signature “Ann Leicester.” This was Ann Reeve, the fifth earl’s countess, who was to be widowed in her twenties. She eventually remarried, and she and her new husband John Sheppard signed some books in common. A second woman collector was Elizabeth Sidney, daughter of Robert the fourth earl. She married Sir Harcourt Master, a city alderman, and a substantial number of titles with her angular signature remain at Penshurst, accumulated over several decades before her death
37
in 1728. She was sufficiently interested in books to have her own bookplate and to pass on a number of her volumes to a third woman, her younger namesake the second Elizabeth Sidney, wife of William Perry and heiress to the estate. She is the most important historical link between the sixteenth- and seventeenthcentury family and the Sidneys of today. The continued presence at Penshurst of a number of books owned by these early eighteenth-century Sidneys suggests that their books never formed part of the old library that was sent to auction and must have been kept elsewhere than in Leicester’s library room. Though Thomas osborne would eventually advertise the sale of 1743 as that of the books of the late John, earl of Leicester (d. 1737), the sixth earl seems to have purchased little but newsbooks, that is, early newspapers. only one extant volume is known to have been his, and it was acquired at osborne’s sale in 1743 by the great collector Richard Rawlinson. This is a manuscript copy of the Church of England “full Anthems” once owned by Charles I, and it was a gift, as a note pasted into it testifies: “This Ms. of Anthems belonged to John Earl of Leicester Constable of the Tower, and was purchased at an auction at St. Pauls Coffee House St. Pauls Church yeard on Saturday 15 Jan 1742-3 by me RR.” The sixth earl had owned this handsome volume, today in the Bodleian Library (MS Rawl. Poet. 23), for only eleven years, as a letter pasted inside shows it was a gift to him from the antiquary and topographer John Bowack in 1732. The sixth earl of Leicester’s real interest was in his paintings, and tourists were already visiting Penshurst and Leicester House to see the collection he had assembled to replace the many family paintings that had been disposed of in sales in 1701 and 1703 to defray accumulated debts.172 It is possible that he also tried to sell some of the books, for there exists a substantial but fragmentary booklist of fifty-six leaves (CKS U1500 E133 and U1500 z18) dated 1723. This list – today little more than a confused bundle of papers – proves when reassembled to contain four lists of books arranged by language: Italian (bearing the date 1723), french, Spanish, and Latin. In each case there once appears to have existed both an alphabetical list and a shelf list; but several leaves are missing, and only portions of the alphabetical list remain for the Latin books. There is also a leaf listing atlases, and one covering some pamphlets acquired after 1665. In all about
172 At the beginning of the eighteenth century the Sidneys owned over 2,000 works of art, statuary, and paintings, chiefly acquisitions of the third earl and including about sixty great masters, among them Raphael, Caravaggio, Titian, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, and Holbein (Hilary Maddicott, unpublished presentation at the conference The Textures of Life at Penshurst, 1552–1743, 7–8 July 2003). for the 1701 sale see note 169.

The Library of the Sidneys of Penshurst Place
1,050 books are included. furthermore, while many of the books in these lists are in the catalogue, many of the books in the catalogue that should be in the lists do not appear – perhaps as many as 40–50 per cent of the Italian and french books – which may indicate that relatively large numbers of books left the library even before 1723. Given the evident indifference of the sixth earl to the library, this would suggest that the 1723 booklist may represent an attempt to sort books for a sale, though no evidence has been found to show whether such a sale took place. There may have been an undocumented sale, or perhaps in the end the losses simply represent attrition, stemming from the apparent neglect of the old library by everyone except, perhaps, the fifth earl. The Sale of the Penshurst Library After the death of Henry, earl of Romney, in 1704 the books then at Penshurst passed, first to Philip the fifth earl, then to his brother John the sixth, and then to the last brother, Jocelin, the seventh earl (1692?– 1743). Jocelin had tried to ensure the continuance of the Sidney name in 1717 by marrying an heiress, Elizabeth Thomas. However, he also observed a condition imposed by her father by refusing to bed her until she was twenty-one. A lady of spirit, she took this apparent repudiation ill and ran off with someone else.173 Jocelin had no legitimate heirs male, and he was a sad figure; during the seven years he was earl of Leicester rumours circulated locally about his mental health, and his financial affairs were in extreme disorder. As the heir of a once-influential Whig family he still received a few requests for patronage, but his correspondence with family, friends, and servants exhibited increasing despair and confusion.174 William Perry and his wife Elizabeth (she and her sister Mary were to inherit the estate, if not the title) were aware that Penshurst would not pass serenely into their keeping, and they commenced legal proceedings to establish their claim as early as 1739, a case that dragged on until 1745.175
Jocelin, who inherited in 1737, must have attempted to realize the value of the library as early as 1740, for when Thomas osborne made his final offer in november 1742 (see below) he said he had first made proposals for the sale of the books “two years ago.” That offer was either withdrawn or rejected, and Jocelin turned to his neighbour Sidney Smythe of Bidborough (1705–1778), later in life a famous judge but at that time a rising lawyer and court functionary, to find some way to sell the books. on 11 March 1740/1 Smythe wrote to Jocelin: “I have spoke to Cock the auctioneer who thinks your Lordships Pictures and Books will sell best by auction & the sooner they are sold the better before the Town grows thin, he talks of eighteen pence in the Pound for the Books which he says is the ordinary price to the auctioneer for selling … If your Lordship thinks of Selling the Books by Auction there will be no occasion of showing them to any other bookseller unless your Lordship would first try what you can get in the lump & if you dislike what is bid you then to try an Auction.”176 Either Jocelin continued to think he could do better, or more likely he was dilatory. on 17 March 1741/2 his attorney and rent collector Henry Herbert wrote to the earl, “I have found out Mr Levi, the famous Book Seller by Auction, and [he] is at this time Selling off the Parcells of Books, So that I can not, give your Lordship any account about the books before the latter End of next week.”177 But the collection as a whole – or what remained of it – was yet to be sold. In november Jocelin, or rather his solicitor Edmund Byron, returned to osborne, who now argued that since he made his initial offer in 1740 “books have been falling in value … and no bookseller will now give what your Lordship was then pleased to refuse. I cannot at present think of paying more for them than £120, but shall willingly take them at the rate which any other Bookseller will give … as the consequence of Accidental changes in Trade, of which the state is such that you cannot hope to raise the price by keeping them longer.”178 In a frequently quoted passage, T.f. Dibdin called Thomas osborne (1704?–67) “the most celebrated

A very few books – “Mere Loye” (Mother Goose) and Quintus Curtius – were bought for Jocelin in his adolescence (see CKS U1475 A72) but there are no records of any book purchases on his part. 175 Hasted, History … of the County of Kent, III, 243–5.

Introduction
Bookseller of his day.”179 Anecdotes abound of osborne’s masterful personality, his lack of interest in literature, and his ruthlessly entrepreneurial business practices (see figure 9). In The Dunciad Pope portrays him and his fellow bookseller, “the unspeakable” Edmund Curll, engaged in a pissing contest, which osborne wins, and “thro’ perfect modesty o’ercome / Crowned with the Jordan, walks contented home’ (II, 189–90). But Thomas osborne had flair; precisely at the time he was dickering with Jocelin for the Penshurst library he was preparing to sell the brilliant collection of printed books assembled by Robert Harley and his son Edward, the first and second earls of oxford. As the judicious Henry Wheatley was to observe, “what [osborne] … did is sufficient to place him in an honourable position in the history of English bibliography. He bought the finest library of the time and sold it piecemeal at reasonable prices … and he did not make much money by the transaction.”180 osborne paid £13,000 pounds for the Harleian collection, and set Samuel Johnson, along with William oldys, secretary to Edward Harley, to preparing a catalogue of the books; Johnson was writing the proposals in november 1742, just as osborne was making his final offer to Jocelin. The Harleian catalogues eventually ran to five volumes, and bibliographers agree that the last volume particularly (1745) was “salted” with books from other collections osborne was selling at the time, almost certainly including some from the earl of Leicester’s library.181 osborne was a hard bargainer; on 23 november 1742, when Jocelin was still undecided about what to do, his agent G.n. Jenkins reported that the bookseller would not give one shilling more than £120, “supposing the books and prints to answer the catalogue which he saw … If you keep them till after Christmas he will not give £100 for them.” Tightening the screws, osborne told Jenkins that he had just bought Lord oxford’s
39
library and that books have now become “a drug [on the market].”182 Thus it was that on 5 January 1742/3 the Daily Advertiser announced the publication of “A Catalogue of the Libraries of the Right Hon. JoHn Earl of LEICESTER, late Constable of the Tower, JoHn nICHoLLS, late Counsellor at Law, and the Rev. Mr. SMITH, all lately deceas’d.” no copy of this sale catalogue has ever been located. The auction was held over thirty-one advertised sessions between 10 January and 14 february by the auctioneer W. Shropshire. Richard Rawlinson bought one of the books, as we have seen, and the collector James West bought others, as is shown by his receipted bill for six lots.183 osborne would later maintain that Leicester’s books went quickly, telling the heiress’s husband William Perry in 1745 that they had all been sold except for a Blaeu atlas, which characteristically he then offered to sell to Perry for fifty guineas.184 But it is clear that a number of the Sidney books had entered osborne’s general stock, for in 1754 he sold John Greaves’s A discourse on the Roman Foot (46r31) and francis Bacon’s The elements of the common law of England (50v13) to the university library at Göttingen. He was also selling to collectors like James Logan and Benjamin franklin in America, which is why there are at least ten books from Penshurst in American libraries today.185 osborne gave earl Jocelin £120 for the books, but we have no idea how many volumes he received for sale. It seems apparent, however, that what he put up for auction were the contents of the old library, or what was left of it, not the books owned by, for example, the fifth earl, his widow, and her relations, a number of whose volumes, identifiable by the 1704 bookplate and by their signatures are, as we have seen, still at Penshurst today. The last of the Leicester books were advertised on 12 february 1742/3, and on 15 february the Daily Advertiser noted “yesterday it was reported that the Right

Hon. the Earl of Leicester was dead.”186 But that was only a rumour, because Jocelin held onto his unhappy and confused life until 7 July, when he finally expired in lodgings in Soho. Penshurst after the Seventh Earl In July 1743 when William Perry took up his role as master of Penshurst, the world of the Sidneys as we have known them came to an end. Jocelin was gone, the earl of Romney’s estate had been settled, Ann Reeve Leicester and her contemporaries were dead, and Abraham, the last son of Gilbert Spencer, had expired, an elderly bachelor. on 21 July a local man named John Chapman billed Perry for work done at
Penshurst: “for a new key to the Library locks and setting on – 10.6.” over the next week or so the house was put to rights, and finally on 4 August Chapman’s bill records “for taking down of Shelves in the library and putting up of the pictures & other Jobbs – 2.6.”187 Perry was very upset about the sale of the old library, since he too was a collector; his books at Penshurst today can be identified by his flowing signature or his armorial plate with its “pear.” In addition, Jocelin’s illegitimate daughter Ann was in residence at Penshurst and unwilling to give the place up. Though technically it was Perry’s wife Elizabeth and her sister who were the heirs, it was as Elizabeth’s husband that William took the lead in asserting their rights. When he arrived at Penshurst in July of 1743 to take over the property from Ann Sidney, a ludicrous scene occurred. Two contrary reports, one by Perry, one by Ann’s attorney John Howell, tell the story. It appears that Perry had to retreat to the public house in the village and gather the support of the tenants to impress Ann and her servants. Her lawyer, clearly appreciating the grotesqueness of the situation, relates that the corpulent Perry laid himself down in the hall at Penshurst and refused to move until the keys were handed over.188 Ann herself went to live with the Streatfeilds, a family of local gentry of considerable wealth. Ironically, in view of the Sidneys’ mid-sixteenthcentury proprietorship of the Robertsbridge ironworks, they were ironmasters. She married Henry Streatfeild of Chiddingstone, Kent in 1752, ending her life in far greater prosperity than she began it.189 Perry’s fate (he was declared insane a few years later) would not concern us, were it not that he tried to take Thomas osborne to court for selling off the Sidneys’ books, which he insisted constituted a family heirloom which by custom could not be alienated from the estate. To do him justice, Perry paid some attention to the family papers that remained at Penshurst, making a rough assemblage of the commonplace books and other manuscripts that remained and marking them with his own bookplate. Unhappily he also allowed Arthur Collins to consult them as he compiled his Letter and Memorials of State, sometimes known as the “Sydney State Papers,” 2 vols. (1746). Collins left his mark on the papers by cutting up and rearranging some of them to further his work, for which he has been heartily cursed by both later Sidneys and later scholars. nevertheless

Introduction
his volumes have been continuously useful for over 250 years. Even that work became entangled in the demise of the library, since osborne, who published it, stoutly refused to continue with Collins’s volumes unless Perry left off his claims that the library had been an heirloom.190 The conflict was settled and the work appeared in May 1746. on the death of Elizabeth Perry in 1781 the estate passed to her ten-year-old grandson John Shelley. Elizabeth’s daughter Elizabeth Jane was the second wife of Sir Bysshe Shelley, and her son eventually assumed the name Shelley-Sidney, uniting under one name the families of the poets Sir Philip Sidney and Percy Bysshe Shelley. During John Shelley’s minority Penshurst seems to have fallen into a condition not unlike that of Satis House in Great Expectations, as the description of it in an 1805 article in the Gentleman’s Magazine suggests: A melancholy gloom seems to pervade the whole pile; and it may be truly said with regard to this place, “a rope of sand” now holds its venerable walls from being thrown to the earth: come but another breach of necessitous demand, and then the whole mass is no more! …. not long ago a part of the north front was taken down, and the materials disposed of for some hundreds … this extraordinary remains of historic proof, this invaluable repository of the Arts, is totally forsaken by the owners, and shut up as though it was an empty house to be lett, or ready to be sold for the value of the materials.191
And, like Satis House, Penshurst seems to have remained exactly as it had been for decades, furniture and pictures in their places and what was left of the books on their shelves. John Shelley-Sidney’s scrawled signature appears across the title pages of a few volumes still in the library today. After that all is silence, until in the 1830s the names of Sophia fitz-Clarence, wife of the first Lord De L’Isle and Dudley, and Sir William Robert Sidney begin to appear in the volumes accumulated by Regency, Victorian, Edwardian, and modern family members. The Penshurst library today is a pleasant private collection, assembled by many later Sidneys from books they purchased, inherited, and
41
once or twice bought back from the old library sold off so briskly by Thomas osborne. It contains a number of interesting early printed books, but most of them belonged to the foulis family of yorkshire, with whom later Sidneys were connected by marriage. These books have their own signatures and bookplates; they came to Penshurst by inheritance in 1950 and have nothing to do with the history of the Sidneys’ own collections. A few books from the pre-1665 library can be found in the private collection at Penshurst today: a copy of the Historia di Giovanni Zonara (Venice, 1560), signed “R. Sydney” (219v02), bought back in the nineteenth century; Thomas de fougasses, Histoire generale de Venise, vol. 2 only (Paris, 1607), signed “R. Lisle 1616” (first earl), binding stamped with his arms (58v24); a boundtogether miscellany of Interregnum acts and ordinances, of which the second item, An act for the sale of several lands and estates forfeited to the common-wealth for treason (1651), is lightly annotated in the hand of the second earl; and the second earl’s bible (see Appendix for these last two items). others remain in the family’s possession but are currently held in the U1475 z classification of the De L’Isle papers in the Kent History and Library Centre: Jacob Typot’s Symbola divina et humana pontificum, imperatorum, regum, vol. 1 only (Prague, 1601), with the bookplate of Philip, fifth earl, dated 1704 (180v14), and five manuscript books, including works by John Selden and Sir francis Knollys (37r28, 50v28, 71r01, 113r02, 115r16). Some of the other manuscript and printed books on deposit are connected with the family in the subjects they treat or their (printed) dedications, but lack evidence of early family provenance and are likely to be later acquisitions. Today the extant books of the early Sidneys are scattered from London to Philadelphia, Göttingen to Toronto, and perhaps this is to be expected. Worth noting, however, is the very small proportion of extant books to the number of titles in the catalogue of 1652– 65: more than 4,200 appear in the catalogue yet fewer than thirty are known to survive. nevertheless the few early books containing the 1704 bookplate still at Penshurst, and others that passed into the rare book market, suggest that the major problem in searching
190 See the series of letters from Arthur Collins to William Perry beginning mid-March 1745/6 discussing osborne’s right to auction the books, which was at issue because Jocelin’s right to sell them to him was thought to have been uncertain. Were they “heirlooms” as Perry insisted, and thus an inalienable part of the estate, or personal property that could be freely left to a legatee? See CKS U1500 C63/6, /7 and /8. 191 “An Architect” [now identified by the late Jill Allibone as John Carter], “The Pursuits of Architectural Innovation,” 1126–8. It is possible that the dismantling Carter described was simply the taking down of the fortified walls which in early pictures can be seen to surround the house. By the late eighteenth century Penshurst did not suit the taste of the time. Joseph farington paid a visit in September 1794 and wrote, “I do not remember to have seen any building of that date more gloomy & less desirable to choose for a residence than Penshurst”: The Diary of Joseph Farington I, 243. He had not changed his opinion in october 1811 (XI, 4006).

The Library of the Sidneys of Penshurst Place
for books owned by the Sidneys may be a simple one: only Sir Henry Sidney and Robert, the first earl, tended to sign the books they owned. Had Philip Sidney done so more frequently, his fame would have made the books he owned coveted. Had the second earl done so the very size of his collection would have led to the discovery of many more identifiable Penshurst books, whether they drifted away from Penshurst between 1677 and 1743, or were sold by osborne in the 1740s. nevertheless, though there are gaps in the documentation, it is possible to tell the story of the early modern library of the Sidneys at Penshurst almost from its beginning in the 1540s to its ending in 1743, and to tell it with an uncommon sense of the particulars of its existence. We know who did and did not assemble the books it held; we know who listed them and how and when he did it; we know where the books were kept and used and what role that room may have played in the Sidneys’ sense of their place in the world. We witness Sir Henry making a small working collection and his heir Sir Philip leaving his own books (whatever they may have been) to two friends; we see the courtier’s earnest learning of the first earl and the solitary scholarship of the second. Even the absence of books tells a tale: of the uncertain life of Algernon Sidney, and of the Sidney women who packed their book trunks and joined their husbands at other estates. We learn of the women who in their turn came to live at Penshurst, like the second countess with her theological works and
the eighteenth-century Sidney women with their volumes on a much wider variety of subjects. More shadowy figures play their part: the widowed countess of Sunderland in her study over the Great Hall, and John Chapman, the carpenter whose task it was to remove the wall shelving in “Lord Lisleys Study.” At the dispersal of the library the saddest blow may have been to William Perry, who as a collector himself bitterly lamented the loss of the books. But he then pulled himself together and set the carpenter John Chapman to turning the great room next to which Leicester had slept into a picture gallery and repairing the lock on the door. In Perry’s day visitors (there would be many in the eighteenth century, a tourist age like our own) really came to see the pictures, and despite earlier sales Penshurst still had many fine ones to display.192 And so the old library with its dusty, out-of-date collection was slowly forgotten. Gilbert Spencer was forgotten too; though he ended his life as a prosperous and influential local man living in a fine house, Red Leafe, just up the hill from Penshurst itself, he left no identifiable portrait of himself, his house is long gone, and his estate was slowly dispersed among heirs who expired without issue. However, the catalogue Spencer copied out remains and today provides the key with which, three and a half centuries later, we can unlock the door of “Lord Lisleys Study” and restore the library of the Sidneys to its place both in the history of the book and in the history of this notable family.
192 See for example the description of Penshurst’s “noble collection of pictures, and many other curious works of art” described in 1780, room by room, in The Tunbridge Wells Guide, 53ff.
Textual Introduction
The Manuscript and Its Sources The catalogue of the library at Penshurst Place is a substantial bound manuscript on deposit with the archive of the Sidney family papers in the Kent History and Library Centre (formerly the Centre for Kentish Studies), Maidstone (shelfmark CKS U1475 z45/2). The volume is a folio of 271 leaves (originally 282: see collation below), with a text block measuring 32.5 × 20.5 cm and binding dimensions of 33 × 21 cm. The paper is uniformly watermarked throughout, showing a shield with suspended post horn, the shield containing three fleur-de-lis surmounted by what is termed in heraldry a “label” or bar with three hanging points; the watermark is identical to Laurentius 364 (their example used in 1653). The correspondingly uniform countermark is a lozenge containing a heart bracketed by the letters I and C, identical with Laurentius 687B (their example used in 1655), Heawood 2323, and Gaudriault 4136.193 The catalogue begins on fol. 2v and ends on fol. 219v; the remaining 52 leaves are blank. The volume was not originally paginated, but the primary scribe provided an alphabetical running head (“A” “B” “C” etc.) as appropriate at the top of each recto. Pencilled foliation was added in 1984. The manuscript collates as follows: 110 2–610 7–118 12–1510 168 17–2710 2812 29–306 [ = 282 leaves, of which 271 remain]. Eleven leaves are missing: the second leaf of the first gathering, which may have functioned as a title page, has likely fallen out through handling (the upper cover is detached and the blank first leaf is loose), and ten successive blank leaves (originally fols. 269–78) were torn out at an early date. The modern foliation begins on what was originally the third leaf and skips the missing leaves at the back of the volume.
The binding is snuff-coloured reversed calf, with a simple blind-stamped frame made up of a double fillet all around and a similar panel off-set to the left, both decorated with corner fleurons. According to David Pearson this style, uncommon in printed books, was used extensively in the period for binding ledgers and account books.194 It features five sewing supports, but no headbands. The fore-edges show the remains of green silk ties. one other book still in the Sidney family’s possession is bound in the same fashion, a tattered, much-annotated bible (London, ca 1613) once owned by Robert Sidney, the second earl of Leicester (see Appendix). The earl apparently had his personal bible rebound to match his library catalogue, probably by the same binder. Like this bible, the binding of the catalogue is very worn: much of the leather covering the spine is missing, and the spine has curved back on itself from continuous use. The Penshurst catalogue was probably copied into the bound “blank” book rather than bound after copying on loose quires (the normal preference of professional scribes): the writing on the versos becomes cramped and occasionally shaky as it enters the gutter, but it never disappears into the binding, as it might have were it bound after copying. Also, in the first third of the volume the scribe filled each leaf with many entries, as if fearful of eventually running out of room; as he progressed, the writing becomes larger and looser, with fewer entries per page and more blank leaves left between letters, as he realized over time that the volume was more than long enough for his task. The “main” catalogue averages 35 entries per page in the first 50 pages, drops to an average of 25 entries per page in the next 50 pages, then settles down to about 22 entries per page for the remainder of the manuscript (and leaving the final sixty-three

leaves blank, also unlikely if the book were bound after copying). All leaves used by the scribe show evidence of having been folded in half vertically, with the fore-edge folded up and towards the gutter, and then folded again the same way. The scribe then used the creases at the one-quarter marks for his margins, the crease nearest the gutter forming the margin for the rectos and that nearest the fore-edge for the versos. The text of the catalogue (see figure 3) consists of “main” entries written on both sides of every second leaf, leaving each page of entries facing a blank page for recording additions – the same effect created by an interleaved printed book.195 The “main catalogue” was copied in 1652 or perhaps early 1653: the latest datable book among the main entries is 1652, and all books datable to 1653 or later are “added” entries. new entries were added until 1664 or perhaps early 1665: there are no datable books from 1665 or later. (for a discussion of possible reasons for the cessation of additions, see the Introduction.) The entries are arranged alphabetically, chiefly by author and title, but on very informal principles. Works by francis Bacon, for example, appear under “Bacon” (six entries plus two cross-references to works listed by title), under their titles (seven, including one work listed twice under different keywords), and under “Verulamij” (three, with no overlap with the entries under “Bacon”). Some entries offer full titles; others are curt to the point of opacity (many comprise just one word). Some titles are descriptive (including descriptive titles in English or Latin of works published in languages the scribe did not read, such as German or Dutch), or are drawn from caption titles or running heads. Most entries provide format (often unreliable). Many provide no author, even at times for works not published anonymously. Some provide date or place of printing, and very occasionally the stationer. In a few cases, entries provide informational glosses on the authorship or content of a work.196 There are no shelf marks or valuations. The main hand of the manuscript is that of Gilbert Spencer, the secretary-cum-steward who entered the family’s service in the early 1650s and remained an influential presence in their affairs long after the second earl’s death in 1677; his career and close relationship with the Sidneys is discussed in the Introduction. Spencer’s script, a typical seventeenth-century cursive, is that of an educated, perhaps moderately learned
man. He knows some Latin and routinely uses the abbreviations familiar to copyists. He does, however, make many mistakes (see the discussion of transcription conventions below). once he completed the main catalogue he likely made some of the added entries, but he was not the only one to do so: maintaining the catalogue seems to have passed to others when Spencer increasingly took on the responsibilities of a steward. only one of these additional hands can be identified with certainty, as it is the distinctive italic of the second earl himself, who from time to time entered corrections and additions on both the main pages and facing blank pages. Unlike Spencer’s, his entries often give full titles, date, and place of publication, and we can surmise that those of Spencer’s that do so were copied from material prepared by the second earl. The main entries evidently were not made with books in hand. Many of the errors in the catalogue – particularly the frequent substitutions of confusable letter forms – indicate a struggle to read handwritten copy, not print. This ur-catalogue was not necessarily in document format: more likely, Spenser was working from an alphabetized set of slips (or set of slips pasted onto pages), since there is evidence in the family papers that the second earl customarily used slips in classifying his commonplace book entries. In addition, the presence of a group of cross-references to main entries not in the catalogue suggests that slips were made for both main entries and cross-references, but that the slips for these main entries were lost. Whatever its origin, the ur-catalogue was likely difficult to read and had probably evolved haphazardly over many years, with layers of additions and corrections; it may already have been recopied one or more times. nevertheless, in content and in entry format the ur-catalogue apparently suited the needs of the second earl, for the entries seem not to have been refined and updated when he initiated the making of his new catalogue in the early 1650s. Editorial Principles for ease of consultation, each entry in the catalogue has been edited to be as free-standing as possible. The edition contains no textual apparatus: the transcription indicates interlinear additions or strikeouts, and the bibliographical identifications that follow the entries clarify textual idiosyncrasies.
195 Changes from one letter to another occasionally disrupt the pattern of alternating folios. The “added” catalogue occupies evennumbered folios from 2–40, 70–120, 130–4, 148–68, 198–208, and odd–numbered folios from 41–69, 123–7, 137–47, 169–97, 211–13. Annotations in the edition indicate instances of “added” entries placed at the bottom of a “main” catalogue page. 196 See e.g. 29v35, 39v34, 48r01, 82r01, 141r08, 175v08, 180r05, 182v17, 186r02, 205r01.
Textual Introduction
Each entry consists of: 1) An entry number in the left margin, identifying the leaf on which it appears and numbering the entries in sequence: “15v22” is thus the 22nd entry on the verso of fol. 15. If the entry contains a crossreference, an arrow () points to the corresponding reference. A few circular cross-references are indicated with a double-headed arrow (). 2) A transcription of the entry as it appears in the manuscript, according to the conventions set out below. The transcription is printed in bold type to differentiate it from the editorially supplied identification and annotation. 3) An identification of the book, with the bibliographical information regularized according to the conventions set out below. 4) In some cases, an annotation that a) calls attention to anomalies in the manuscript entry or difficulties with the annotation, and/or b) provides information documenting connections between a book and a family member. for thirty-four entries, we describe extant Sidney family copies of the book listed: most of these are almost certainly the same copies that were in Penshurst in the mid-seventeenth century. In other cases, we note purchase records, appearances in other family booklists (particularly the lists of foreign-language and Latin books compiled in 1723), dedications to family members, and references in correspondence, commonplace books, and selected printed works (such as Sir Philip Sidney’s Defence). our annotations based on the thirteen large commonplace books and collections of the first and second earls rarely supply page numbers. These great folio volumes comprise many complex entries (see for example figure 6). Unless their texts were carefully edited (a project we hope someone will one day undertake) it would be impossible to ensure either comprehensiveness or accuracy. The commonplace books provide an exceptional opportunity for further intensive study, but sadly that could not be a priority of this edition. We have chosen instead to note the presence in specific volumes of explicit references to identified works, and indicate if the work in question appears to be cited extensively or repeatedly. Transcription Gilbert Spencer was an educated man, but he was not a professional scribe. His text consequently demonstrates not only the inconsistencies in spelling, punctuation, and capitalization characteristic of the period,
45
but also inconsistencies of letter formation, abbreviation conventions, and modes of presenting information. In addition, the handwritten sources from which he was working were themselves likely subject to the same inconsistencies, and for more than a decade he and others wrote new entries or added information to existing entries, introducing inconsistencies among different hands and even within the same hand over time. The transcription aims to present the manuscript as accurately as possible, regularizing some features of early modern scribal practice for legibility. Since the identifications in effect gloss the catalogue entries (or provide the reader with the information needed to track down full title pages that include all information presented in the longer entries), we have not corrected the text’s numerous botched names and garbled words. Annotations note probable errors if they affect the identification (e.g., “C. Liuium probably a scribal error for C. Plinium”; “1615 apparently an error for 1605”) or call attention to unexplained elements in the entries. In the transcription, we have regularized fossil thorn (the “y” in “ye”) to “th” and initial “ff” to “f” but retain u/v, i/j, digraphs, and the brevigraphs “&” and “&c” as they appear in the manuscript. Consistency has not been imposed on inconsistently employed abbreviations (such as “vi” “vid” and “vizt”). Punctuation is likewise preserved. Scribal abbreviations are expanded, with the supplied letters in italic: most common are the ornamented “p” (for per, par, pro, etc.), the terminal “us” graph, the tilde for omitted “I” “m” and “n,” and a flourished “r” employed for terminal “um.” Spencer does not employ the terminal “es” graph, and consistent usage in the manuscript indicates that terminal “s” is to be transcribed as “s.” Superscript letters are lowered, unless attached to numbers (e.g., 4to, 2d, 7ieme); if a contraction, the word is expanded unless the contraction is familiar or self-evident (e.g., “Mr.” “Dr.” “St.” “Esqr.” or “Wm.” for “William”); supplied letters are italicized. format indications such as fol., 4°, 8°, 12° are not expanded. Where the hand is unclear as to whether a majuscule or minuscule letter is intended, it is transcribed as minuscule. Truncated words are not expanded unless the suspension is signalled by a regularly employed abbreviation (e.g., terminal “m”, “um”, or “us”): expanding truncations in a text like this is bibliographically dangerous, as it often involves making bibliographical or linguistic assumptions about the work listed. Truncations signalled with periods or colons are reproduced as they appear; if not expanded, tildes or other terminal flourishes (most commonly, flourished terminal “t” and “r”) are replaced with periods.

Scribal obliterations are marked with < strikeout >, with periods for any unreadable letters; false starts comprising single letters are not recorded unless they indicate substantive correction (e.g., “f” for “fol” struck out and replaced with “4°”). occasional underlinings, line-fillers, and slashes marking line endings are omitted. Where a slash has sometimes been used to divide an entry each instance has been treated ad hoc. Deliberate blanks within entries are indicated thus: [blank]. Interlineations are indicated thus: \inserted material/. The first occurrence of initial letters signifying the beginning of new alphabetical sections is preserved, but not the alphabetical running head on the recto of each manuscript leaf. An alphabetical section beginning on a facing page is indicated thus: [A]. A dotted line indicates the gutter between left-hand verso and right-hand recto; a solid line indicates the turning of a leaf to a new opening. Entries added in the margins, or marginal additions to entries, are included in the transcription {enclosed in wavy brackets}; the occasional marginal gloss appears in the entry annotation. occasionally two titles were recorded on a single line; these have been dealt with ad hoc and usually given separate entry numbers. The initial letters found at the end of some entries were evidently present in Spencer’s source copy, where they were added to facilitate alphabetizing.197 They are noted in the annotations as “X = draft indexing initial.” Bibliographical Identifications Many books listed in the catalogue can be identified by exact edition, either because only one edition is known to have been published or because the entry provides sufficient information (such as date) to narrow down a range of possibilities. Identifications in these cases provide, in order and according to conventions set out in more detail below, author, title, place of publication (if known), printer (if known), date, format, and bibliographical source. If, however, the information in an entry allows for more than one edition, we present the range of possible dates we have found. These ranges are not necessarily comprehensive: while we have consulted all major and many more specialized bibliographical resources, both printed and electronic, guaranteed comprehensiveness is in most cases simply not possible, particularly for books published in Europe. If all editions found were published in one
city or by one stationer, then place of publication or stationer is also included. With the exception of references to STC, Wing, and the occasional specialized bibliography, bibliographical sources are not provided if an entry cannot be identified with a specific edition. Entries have not been identified solely on the basis of formats provided by the manuscript catalogue, which are frequently unreliable. Seventeenth-century book owners tended to shelve their books according to size, and their assessment of format was not that of a modern analytical bibliographer: the catalogue frequently confuses quartos and octavos, octavos and books in smaller formats, and even occasionally quartos and folios. In all uncertain cases printer, publisher, and date are omitted and a range of dates is provided for a specified range of formats (e.g., “4° and 8° edns. found 1580–1620”). The qualifiers “probably” and “possibly” are employed when some uncertainty remains about author or title. But of the approximately 4,200 separately published titles listed in the catalogue, only about two dozen potentially identifiable ones have eluded bibliographical identification; a few dozen others provide insufficient information to specify one of several possible texts or authors. Within the identifications we have followed the following conventions: 1) Author. Personal names are generally given in their native vernacular unless the author is better known under a Latin name. Pseudonyms are provided in parentheses after the name. Latin locator names are given in brackets, as, e.g., “Artemidorus (Daldianus),” as are titles where relevant or helpful in identification, especially for nobles or ecclesiastics. If an identified entry contains works by more than one author they are listed in sequence, separated by a semicolon; in the cases of some larger anthologies, we provide the leading names followed by “[and others].” 2) Title. Usually as given in the source cited, but variation among cataloguing practices means that in some cases we have had to be inventive. Titles are full enough to make the entry clear, but author names and affiliations within titles are usually omitted and lengthy titles discreetly shortened. Uniform titles (for works that appeared under variously worded titles) or editorially supplied descriptive titles (such as Works) are indicated by square brackets. Capitalization, spelling, and punctuation follow
197 A fragmentary document in the family papers (U1500 E133, ff. 52–4) lists the titles in two volumes of bound-together English pamphlets acquired after the catalogue was no longer being updated: indexing initials like those in the catalogue have been added to the titles.
Textual Introduction
the practice of STC for books published after 1601 (i.e., i/j, u/v, and long “s” are regularized). While many books in the library are sixteenth-century editions, most are from the seventeenth century or were published in ranges that cross from one century to another: given the uncertainty of many dates of publication in this catalogue, we have for the sake of consistency employed the same conventions for all titles. 3) Place and printer. Place names are given in their English form. occasionally more than one place is provided, if an edition appears to have been issued in two cities (“Paris and Lyons, 1600”) or with some STC books (“London, 1612-24; Antwerp, 1637”). Printers are provided only when a specific edition can be identified or if all editions found bear the same imprint. Imprints are abbreviated and regularized, and names given in the vernacular, based when possible on the printer indices in STC, Wing, and the CERL (Consortium for European Research Libraries) Thesaurus. 4) Cross-references. In most cases, cross-references are not provided with their own identifications: the arrow sends the reader to the cross-referenced entry for the full identification. occasionally, a cross-reference is to another cross-reference, which in turn leads to the main entry. Cross-references to main entries missing from the catalogue are treated as main entries. With circular cross-references, the identification is attached to the fullest entry or, if the two entries contain the same information, the entry to appear first in the catalogue. The exceptions are the 207 cross-references to “Ramas Eng.” (158v04)
47
and the 286 cross-references to “Bib. Pat. Lat.” (21r13–14). “Ramas Eng.” is an 11-volume collection of bound-together English pamphlets from the 1640s. fortunately, the catalogue provides separate entries for titles in ten of the eleven volumes (and often for texts within titles), cross-referenced to the entry for the collection as a whole. Since these are separately published works, each has been identified fully where entered. “Bib. Pat. Lat.” is the 11-volume compilation of patristic texts edited by Marguerin de La Bigne, Bibliothecae veterum patrum (Paris, 1624). The catalogue provides separate entries for each included text (probably based on the work’s not entirely accurate index), cross-referenced to the main entry for the set. These separate entries have been identified by author and title or incipit, if not found in Migne (see below) and where possible provided with a reference to the version of the text in J.P. Migne, Patrologia cursus completus, series Graeca (Paris, 1857–86) or Patrologia cursus completus, series Latina (Paris, 1844–66). The individual titles (probably several hundred) in a set of 24 volumes of bound-together french pamphlets (159r12) were not catalogued separately. 5) Duplicated entries. Many entries not signalled in the catalogue as cross-references seem nonetheless to represent duplicated entries (the same book listed under both author and title, e.g., or by two different keywords). In most cases, entries containing duplicated information are only identified once, either at the fullest entry or, if the two entries contain the same information, at the first to appear in the catalogue. Annotations link these entries with one another.

A copy (Paris, 1560) is at Penshurst (private collection) but offers no evidence of early Sidney provenance and is listed in a catalogue of the library compiled in 1793 (CKS U1500 E153), which suggests that it was an eighteenth-century acquisition. 11r07 Apulei opera. 16o.

See 11r18 for an additional copy or copies, and the note at 11r13 for the explanation of the gap between the two entries for Arcadia. See 153r14 for a manuscript copy. Rowland Whyte to Robert Sidney, 1 Sept. 1599 (CKS U1475 C12/156): ‘The Arcadia is newly printed in Scotland according to the best edition which will make them good cheepe; but is very hurtfull to pownsonby who held them at a very high rate; he must sell as others doe, or they will lye upon his hands’ (f. 30r). CKS U1475 C85/1: 8 Oct. 1632 [copy letter?], the second earl quotes the
Arcadia to Northumberland: ‘and the Arcadia sayth no service is so good as his that serves because he Loves’ (f. 1r). In Birch (BL Add. 4464), the second earl cites (misquoting, and without identifying the passage), ‘The ass did hurt when he but meant to kiss’ [recte ‘did think to kiss’] from the versedialogue between Plangus and Basilius in Book II; another hand has added ‘Arcadia’ (f. 13r). There are eight copies of Arcadia at Penshurst (private collection), representing edns. from 1599 (CKS U1500 Z23) through 1674. All appear to be later acquisitions, offering no evidence of early Sidney family provenance. 11r12 Arcadia vi. Sanazaro. 170v09 11r13 Apologeticus pro Rege Christianis. Ludovico 13. Nic.

Knollys, Sir francis (attrib.). [A discourse of exchange]. Manuscript. fol. CKS. Two Sidney family copies of the identical manuscript collection in the Centre for Kentish Studies. In both, text proper begins ‘A Conference of weightes, Boolion, and values of the silver monies of England.’ Title above derived from CKS U1475 z4 (ca 1590), a folio bound in original limp vellum, with the eighteenth-century bookplate of William Perry, husband of Elizabeth Sidney; title is written on the front cover. CKS U1475 z5 (copied 1629) is a large folio (41 cm), bound in limp vellum and with the same later bookplate, titled on front cover Sir Walter Rawleigh’s Book on Exchange &c copied for The Earle of Leycester An. Dom. 1629. A note by the second earl on the front free endpaper explains that he had the book copied from a version owned by Raleigh; a later note observes that its contents were identical to the book already in the library titled ‘A discourse of exchange.’ Like some other manuscript books listed in the catalogue (see 50v28, 71r01, 113r02, 151r16), these were evidently not included in the sale of the library and remained
at Penshurst. Entry mentions just one copy in the library: CKS U1475 z4 possibly more likely, since it was evidently in the library first. The second earl may have kept CKS U1475 z5 with his commonplace books, some of which it resembles: the majority of pages in this tall, thick volume are left blank, as if to allow for substantial additions. for analogous entries on the same subject, see 7r08, 113r02, and 117r11. 37r29 Conference in the tower with Campion. 1581. 4o bis. nowell, Alexander; Day, William; field, John.

Variously attributed to Robert Parsons, Charles Arundell, and Thomas Morgan (see also 99r04). Possibly one of the two other 1641 edns. (Wing L968, L969aA): but this is the only edn. to attribute the work to Parsons on its title page and the only edn. to print Leicesters ghost, Thomas Rogers’s versified version of Leicester’s life and death (written ca 1602–4). Descriptive wording in entry might reflect manuscript notes in the Penshurst copy. A manuscript copy (ca 1584) belonging to the Sidney family is in the Centre for Kentish Studies (CKS U1475 z2), but is apparently a nineteenthcentury acquisition (and the catalogue entry clearly refers to a printed version). 99r03 Leycester sa Genealogie. 4o. Unidentified. This entry may represent a manuscript (cf. 23r26): possibly a genealogy commissioned by the status-conscious second earl when he was ambassador extraordinary in Paris, perhaps a french version of a satire along the lines of Leicester’s common-wealth or Leicester’s ghost, as for example in the following entry.

Sidney family copy, almost certainly the presentation copy, with an elaborate threepage dedication to the second earl while he was ambassador in Paris, now Bodleian Library Rawlinson MS D509. Dedication signed ‘Daniel Perreaux, advocat en Parlement.’ Purchased by the antiquary Richard Rawlinson, presumably at the osborne sale in 1743. In 1723 booklist. Little is known of Perreaux, except that he was married at the Protestant temple at Charenton in 1642 (Haag, La France protestante, VIII, 191) and provided the preface to Henri de Rohan’s Le parfaict capitaine (see 27v09 and 140r04). He wrote an undated (and nearly illegible) letter seeking a favour from the second earl, who was known to worship at Charenton during his embassy to Paris (CKS U1500 C292/110). for other books associated with the Sidney family purchased by Rawlinson, see 95r12, 126v04 (annotation), and App.13. 138v10 Panvinij Chronicon Ecclesiast. fol.

Possibly a stray volume from one of the many multi-vol. fol. and 4o sets published throughout the period. Probably a bound-together volume containing at least four works, more likely 4o than folio. Works by Theodosius and Euclid were often issued or bound together, but no published collection has been found that contains all four authors in this entry. one or more may possibly be commentaries on these works rather than editions. 196r20 Trismeg.

Robert Sidney, in the capacity of royal commissioner, accompanied the couple on their voyage and attended the celebrations: see Sidney Chronology, 205–6. The only published account found in french is an octavo, and therefore unlikely: David Jocquet, Les triomphes, entrees, cartels, tournois, ceremonies, et autres magnificenes, faites en Angleterre, et au Palatinat, pour le mariage et reception, de ... Prince Frideric V et de Madame Elizabeth (Heidelberg and Lyons, 1613).

Appendix: Additional Extant Books Associated with the Early Library at Penshurst Annotations to thirty-four entries in the catalogue describe extant books associated (or possibly associated) with members of the Sidney family (see Index under ‘Books Located’). This appendix lists additional extant books associated (or possibly associated) with the early library of the Sidney family but not represented in the catalogue and so not discussed there. Some of these books appear to have left Penshurst before the catalogue was created; with others, the evidence for family association postdates the creation of the catalogue. These books add to our knowledge of the Sidneys’ reading, and the provenance information they contain may offer clues about the subsequent history of the library at Penshurst, including its dispersal.

Thomason E.1061[51]. Location: Penshurst (private collection). Lightly annotated in the hand of the second earl. not catalogued separately in Wing, since also issued as part of a through-paged set. Bound here with a selection of about forty acts and ordinances (not paginated continuously) dated between 1651–7; this is the only text with annotations.

Bookplate of Philip, fifth earl of Leicester, dated 1704. no apparent markings, but heavily used at some point as spine and boards are worn. not the copy listed in the catalogue (15r06) and cited in the commonplace books, which was the Latin edition (though also with commentary by J.L. Vives). Later bookplate of Chetham’s Library.

App.4 The holy bible, conteyning the old testament, and the new. [Royal or ‘Authorized’ version]. London: R. Barker, [1613 or 1614] (1613). 4o in 8s. STC 2227, 2228, or 2233. Location: Penshurst (private collection). General title page missing, but the title page of the new Testament is dated 1613 and that of the Psalms 1614 (STC 2548). Apparently vol. 2 only of a copy bound in two vols.: text begins in Ezekiel 4 (sig. 2z8), and, while the volume is missing some initial pages, it probably began at the most a gathering or two earlier. Rebound in a manner identical to the distinctive binding of the manuscript of the library catalogue (CKS U1475 z45/2): see Textual Introduction for a discussion of the binding style. The binding on the bible is as worn as that on the library catalogue. Heavily annotated and underlined throughout by the second earl. ‘22 feb. 1632’ written at the beginning of the new Testament, but the extensive comments suggest continuous use over several decades. Beside Micah 1:8 (‘I wil go stript and naked’) he has commented ‘Like the Quakers,’ a word that first appears in the late 1640s.

Clipping (noting the presence of the Sidney autograph) pasted in from another sale catalogue (untraced) with the lot number 139, possibly the sale in which it was acquired by Richard Monckton Milnes, Baron Houghton, father of Robert, marquis of Crewe, whose bookplate also appears.

The catalogue lists at least three Latin editions but not one in folio (27r05, 27r07), so probably either an early book that migrated out of the family’s possession, or one purchased between 1666 and 1704.
App.9 Chronicorum Turcicorum. Ed. P. Lonicer. frankfurt: J. a. S. feyerabend, 1578. fol. Location: Penshurst (private collection). With several signatures of Henry Sidney.

vol. 8 in vellum with plain edges and more heavily worn; vols. 4 and 6 lack title pages. Bookplate in vol. 5 of Philip, fifth earl of Leicester, dated 1704. 1723 booklist indicates a fivevol. set then at Penshurst. An early hand notes osborne sale 1749, no. 14772: see Thomas osborne, A catalogue of thirty thousand volumes (1749), there listed as ‘9 tom.’ and priced at 9s (383). Evidently among the books sold by osborne in America (see Introduction); owned by Isaac norris and left by him to Dickinson College. See Korey, no. 1243. See also App.24 below.

Listed as no. 14122 in Thomas osborne, A catalogue of thirty thousand volumes (1749) for 2s (366). Evidently among the books sold by osborne in America (see Introduction); owned by Isaac norris and left by him to Dickinson College. See also App.23 above.
App.25 Pescatore, Giovanni Battista. La morte di Ruggiero continuata alla materia de l’Ariosto. Venice: C. da Trino, 1551. 8o. Location: Harvard, Houghton Library (Ital 7713.10.38*). on sig. A3v, the decoration above a dedicatory sonnet by Leona Aldrobandina is signed on the left ‘Phillip’ and on the right ‘Sidne.’ At the bottom of the page, probably in the same hand, is written a line from Publilius Syrus, ‘Amici vitia si feras, facis [recte facias] Tua’ (If you overlook the mistake of a friend, you make it your own), with the initials ‘T.R.’ The hand is italic, with secretary characteristics. Sparingly annotated with marginal dots and some underlinings, and with stanzas in many cantos numbered by hand. Bookplate of the Biblioteca Cavalieri (no. 1266 in the catalogue of the bibliophile Giuseppe Cavalieri of ferrara, 1908). Gift of P.A.B. Widener and his sister Mrs Josephine Widener Wichfield, in memory of their father Joseph E. Widener. Possibly a book presented to Philip Sidney; possibly a Philip Sidney book, but the resemblance of the hand to his known italic is uncertain, and the concluding initials are unexplained. However, Sidney’s Xenophon (216r05) is signed in the same way, as is the more doubtful Sadoleto (App.28); see also the binding of the Hakluyt (App.17). The book appears to have remained in Italy, and if Sidney did indeed sign it, could have been given by him to a friend during his youthful travels there.
App.26 Prynne, William. Canterburies Doome. London: J. Macock f. M. Spark, 1646. fol. (in 4s). Wing P3917. Location: Göttingen, niedersachsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek (4o H. Brit.ec.7895). Bookplate of
Philip, fifth earl of Leicester, dated 1704. A few brief annotations and corrections, probably in the hand of the second earl, on a2r, 19, and 153. Stamped ‘Ex Bibliotheca Acad. Georgiae Augustae.’ Göttingen library archive records purchase from Thomas osborne, catalogue of 1754, vol. 1, no. 770: see A catalogue of the libraries of the late Dr. Cromwell Mortimer ... and many others (1753–4), where it is listed descriptively as ‘Prynne’s History of the Trial, &c. of Archbp. Laud’ and priced at 3s 6d (80).
App.27 [Psalter]. ‘The Sidney Psalter.’ Large, finely decorated folio manuscript, ca 1450. Location: Cambridge, Trinity College Library (R 17.3). Vellum manuscript of 147 leaves. Described in Western Manuscripts in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, ed. M.R. James (1900–4), vol. 2, item 988. Arms of the Barons Sudley of Sudley, Worcs. (see Papworth’s Ordinary, 284-85 and 705). Records (on fols. 2r, 2v, 4r, 5r, 5v, 6r) the births, marriages, and in one case the death of the parents and siblings of Mary Sidney, countess of Pembroke, her own marriage, and the births of three Pembroke children and the death of one. The dates span the period 1529–84, but the entries are evidently a retrospective task undertaken either at the direction of the countess herself or of Mary Dudley Sidney (d. 1586). The entries are in at least two contemporary hands, not yet identified. See Hannay, Philip’s Phoenix (1990), 4–5, and note 8. In the library of Archbishop Whitgift (d. 1604) as ‘Psalterium magna latina’; his arms appear on the cover. The first or ‘Beatus’ leaf is not part of the original manuscript. It shows the Sidney arms with eleven quarterings, enclosed in a Garter, and must have been added after 1616, when Robert Sidney became a Garter Knight, because someone recognized the association of the book with the Sidneys.
App.28 Sadoleto, Jacopo. Epistolarum libri sexdecim. Eiusdem ad Paulum Sadoletum epistolarum liber unus. Cologne: Heirs of A. Birckmann, 1554. 8o. Location: folger Shakespeare Library (BX 4705 S2 1554 Cage). on either side of ‘sexdecim’ are the initials ‘P’ and ‘S.’ They do not resemble other examples of Philip Sidney’s hand, but are in the position where his initials appear in the Xenophon (216r05), the Hakluyt (App.17), and Pescatore (App.25). Sparingly marked. on sig. a2r, in red, an ‘A’ over a ‘W’ with the date 1566. on the first flyleaf is a pencil notation giving brief biographies of Sidney and of Sadoleto, and speculating that AW are the initials of a member of the Walsingham family. However, more likely candidates are one or another of the two Anthony Wingfields. for Anthony Wingfield, the Cambridge orator who was dispatched to the continent several times by Queen Elizabeth, see ODNB. for Anthony Wingfield, the Lincolnshire gentleman who wrote to Lady Golding on 5 December 1585 soliciting funds to enable him to accompany Sir Philip Sidney to the continent, see Cook, A

A note in the volume, probably in the hand of Christ Church fellow Richard Edes (1554–1604), records that the book was a gift from Robert Sidney on 4 March 1576 (when Sidney was twelve years old). Bound in vellum with Jean froissart, Historiarum opus omne (Paris: S. Colines, 1537), but the froissart may be separate from the gift.

leaf). Bound as part of a volume of Sidney family documents dating from 1573 to 1671. Sir Philip Sidney’s autograph draft, with revisions. With two endorsements on the last leaf, now much deteriorated. According to Collins, the first once read ‘A Discourse in Defence of the Earle of Leycester’ and the second ‘In my Uncles own Hand, worthy to be better known to the World’ (I, 68). Collins believed the first endorsement to have been written by Robert Sidney, but Woudhuysen notes that it is ‘certainly not’ his hand (Sir Philip Sidney and the Circulation of Manuscripts, 412). But the second endorsement probably is written by the second earl. Edited from this manuscript in Sidney, Miscellaneous Prose, 123–42; described in Beal, Index of English Literary Manuscripts, vol. 1, pt. 2, 484 (SiP 172) and Woudhuysen, 411–12. Evidently at Penshurst in the eighteenth century, when Collins made a transcription (CKS U1475 z3). But by the 1830s it was in the hands of the bookseller Thomas Thorpe; purchased from Thorpe in 1837 by Percy Clinton Sidney Smythe, sixth Viscount Strangford and Baron Penshurst; descended to his granddaughter Mrs P.M. Russell; sold Sotheby’s 30 May 1927, lot 533; Quaritch; Pierpont Morgan.

Index
This index covers the Introduction, indexed by page number, and the library catalogue, indexed by entry number. The catalogue, an alphabetized author/title list with a well-developed system of cross-references (including some editors, translators, commentators, and subjects), is largely but not completely self-indexing. All identified authors are listed below, including potentially duplicated entries and individual listings for separately published books in bound-together volumes. If an author appears in the catalogue in any other role (editor, translator, commentator, subject), then those references are also included. Explicit crossreferences and indexical cross-references to authors included within published anthologies are excluded. for reasons of space, identified editors, translators, and commentators who do not also appear as authors are indexed selectively. other subjects of biographies and commentaries are also included selectively: many of these are cross-referenced within the catalogue itself. The index excludes stationers, because a misleadingly small number are securely identified; and it excludes anonymous titles, which appear in the catalogue under title, subject, or cross-reference. Entry numbers beginning “App.” refer to the works listed in the Appendix.
