About This Item
Oxford Bibliographical Society, Oxford, 1996. Cloth-backed boards, 8vo,. xcv, 358 pp. From the introduction: "The purpose of this book is twofold. First, to provide a catalogue of the books that are known to have survived from Cranmer's library after it was dispersed in 1553 (with their present locations, where known), and to suggest further books which may have belonged to him from the evidence of quotations and other references in his writings. And, secondly, to trace the history of his books after 1553 down to their present location, and, where there is evidence of pre-Cranmer provenance, to indicate where Cranmer may have obtained them. This is not, therefore, a study in detail of the books themselves or the use to which Cranmer put them, though the material presented here will, it is hoped, provide a starting point for such a study, for those working on particular aspects of his thought, work, and career." Oxford Bibliographical Society publications. 3rd ser., v. 1 Booklabel on front pastedown endpaper, otherwise Near Fine.
