Description
This Guide to the Manuscripts, Autographs, Charters, Seals, Illuminations, and Bindings exhibited in the Department of Manuscripts and in the Grenville Library first appeared in its present shape, consisting of three parts, each with twenty plates, in 1912. Part III is now reprinted substantially in the same form. The most important changes in this part of the exhibition are the additions to the section of English illuminations of the Durham Life of St. Cuthbert and the St. Omer Psalter, and to the French section of the Sainte Abbaye. The acquisition of the St. Omer Psalter is due to the generosity of Mr. Henry Yates Thompson. All three manuscripts have for some time been on view in a separate case, but now take their proper places in the arrangement. A few minor alterations and slight revisions of the descriptions have been made, the work being done, as in 1912, by Mr. J. A. Herbert, now Deputy Keeper.
