Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a remarkably comprehensive catalogue of the historical manuscripts preserved in the Chapter Library of Worcester Cathedral. It is a historic document in itself, since it was compiled in 1906, and therefore predates many of the modern reorganizations and changes that have occurred in the library since that time. The descriptions of each of the 275 manuscripts that still remain in the library is thorough, and the catalogue provides insights into the intellectual history of Worcester Priory. In addition to the 275 manuscripts, the author also discusses 66 manuscripts that once belonged to Worcester but are now in other collections in England. The book provides a valuable introduction to the study of the library's holdings and will be of particular interest to scholars working on the history of the cathedral, the medieval church, or the history of English literature and thought. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
