Description
The earliest extant catalogue is that of the manuscript books compiled in Patrick Young in 1622. After that a catalogue dated 1670 lists 224 manuscripts and is located at the Bodleian Library, Oxford (in Bodleian MS Tanner 268 ff2-8). Neil Kerr in Books, Collectors and Libraries, Studies in Medieval Heritage (p185) refers to a late 17th catalogue but the identification and location of this is currently unknown. Ker also refers to a printed list by Edward Bernard from 1697 in Catalogues Manuscriptorum Angliae et Hiberniae ii, nos.927-1090. A nineteenth century catalogue can also be found in the library of Peterborough Cathedral (V.4.32) - although in the Friends of Salisbury Cathedral annual report 1951 p 5 records that the research work of Mr Neil Kerr has resulted in the discovery of an early nineteenth century manuscript of our Library at Peterborough and this has been returned to us. Catalogues of both the manuscript and printed books are listed here.
