Description
This is a compilation of medieval book lists and catalogues from 34 houses of Augustinian canons. The volume also contains the most substantial of all surviving records of an English medieval library, the late 15th-century catalogue of Leicester Abbey, which records the contents of over 900 books. This catalogue bears witness to the intellectual, pastoral and devotional interests of a late medieval religious community. The book also includes important catalogues form Waltham Abbey and Lanthony Priory, as well as a 15th-century book list identified as being from Thurgarton Priory, the house of the English mystic, Walter Hilton.
