Book Description
Excerpt from Bibliotheca Pepysiana, Vol. 3: A Descriptive Catalogue of the Library of Samuel Pepys The present section of the Pepysian catalogue contains an account of the mediaeval manuscripts and some others of literary interest. In compiling it I have followed the method employed in my other catalogues of manuscripts: the order in which the books are described is simply that of their places on the shelves, an order dictated largely by considerations of size. The only printed catalogue of the Pepys Manuscripts which professes to give a general view of the collection is that which appears in the Oxford Catalogi Manuscriptorum Angliae et Hiberniae (1697 II 207). It is entitled: Librorum Manuscriptorum viri sapientissimi Samuelis Pepysii, Curiae Admiraliae nuper a secretis, varii quidem argumenti, sed praecipue de re navali, quae est Anglorum gloria ac Praesidium, Thesaurus inaestimabilis. (With a sub-heading at 6835 of Naval Architecture, which, however, does not cover all the items that follow it.) This catalogue, as has been said, was issued in 1697: it may have been drawn up some years earlier. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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