Now available! ‘A descriptive catalogue of the Medieval Manuscripts in the library of Peterhouse, Cambridge’

Peterhouse is pleased to announce the publication of ‘A descriptive catalogue of the Medieval Manuscripts in the library of Peterhouse, Cambridge’, prepared by Professor R.M. Thomson.  This is the first such catalogue since that of M.R. James (1899) and the first catalogue to modern standards of the medieval manuscript holdings of any Cambridge College.  The book (272 pp. and 114 illustrations mostly in colour), published by Boydell and Brewer, is available to purchase from most academic bookshops.  Students and Fellows may borrow the book from the Ward Library.
