A Descriptive Catalogue of the Manuscripts in the Library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge

M. R. James (1862-1936) is probably best remembered as a writer of chilling ghost stories, but he was an outstanding scholar of medieval literature and paleography, who served both as Provost of King's College, Cambridge, and as Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, and many of his stories reflect his academic background.

His detailed descriptive catalogs of manuscripts owned by colleges, cathedrals, and museums are still of value to scholars today.

This two-volume catalog contains James's description of the manuscript holdings of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and will be welcomed by librarians and researchers alike.
