Many of these . are important documents, worthy of publication for their own sake, and all, so far as I am aware, are hitherto unpublished." cf. Introd., p.

4 vols, cloth, 41 x 32 cm, xliv, 360 + vii, 402 + ix, 384 + xl pp, 125 plates. . A contemporary review by Reginald L. Poole praises: ".the four stately volumes in large quarto now before us. No catalogue of any great library has ever been attempted on such a scale, and certainly none can rival it in the completeness of its scholarship or the perfection of its work in detail. .The technical finish of the book is incomparable, and the printers have co-operated in making it a splendid production. It is printed with wonderful accuracy in a noble type; the paper is excellent and the volumes are uncommonly easy to use. The catalogue of the Royal manuscripts occupies the first two volumes. The third contains a description of the King's manuscripts ; this collection, inconveniently named, forms part of the fine library of George III, which was presented to the nation by George IV. That library is famous for its printed books, but the 446 manuscripts in it comprise few of remarkable interest. Most of the volume is taken up by two indexes which call for special admiration. The general index is drawn up with extraordinary completeness. .The second index is of initia or incipits in various languages. The compilers say that ' the Royal collection includes so much of the common stock of a medieval library that the Latin index will, it is hoped, be found useful by many who may wish to identify unnamed treatises'. This is too modest an aspiration : the index covers so much longer a range of centuries than those of Vattasso and Little that it must at once rank as an indispensable work of reference for students of manuscripts. The fourth volume consists of a series of 125 plates giving beautifully reproduced facsimiles from 144 manuscripts, of which two-thirds were written, or probably written, in England.The volume is an important contribution to palaeography.". From the introduction to the work: "The volume of plates (fortunately prepared before the war) forms a special feature of the Catalogue, which it is hoped will be welcome both to palaeographers and to students of art. The 125 plates include representations of 99 manuscripts written (or probably written) in England, and since nearly 50 of these are illuminated they serve to give a good idea of English mediaeval art, the great merits of which are often ignored. French art, which alone can rival it, is well (though not fully) represented by 26 plates, of which 24 are illuminated : Flemish and Italian work are less adequately represented. Four plates are devoted to handwritings of the 16th and 17th centuries, and two to examples of the autographs of well-known scholars. A chronological table enables the student to follow the course of palaeographical and artistic development." Scot McKendrick paid tribute to this catalogue in his introduction to his 2011 catalogue 'Royal Manuscripts : The Genius of Illumination' : Most notably our research, and indeed that of most other modern scholars, could not have been undertaken without the monumental four-volume Catalogue of the Royal and Kings Manuscripts that was compiled by successive Keepers of the Department of Manuscripts in the British Museum. Sir George Frederic Warner and Julius Parnell Gilson. this catalogue is still one of the most outstanding scholarly catalogues of early manuscript books ever produced. Almost every entry in the present work has benefited from the insights that Warner and Gilson brought to their subject. The essays too are deeply indebted to their work." A set formerly owned by C H St John Hornby (founder of the Ashendene Press and noted collector of manuscripts), with his red and black bookplate on the front pastedown endpapers. Some pencil notes to margins. Some mild rubbing to the cloth and the plate volume is a little shaken, offsetting to endpapers, otherwise a Very Good set with an excellent provenance.
