Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Descriptive Catalogue of the Manuscripts, Vol. 1: In the Library of Corpus Christi College Cambridge
To Professor A. S. Napier of Oxford I owe the use of written notes, as well as information given viva were and by letter, concerning the Anglo Saxon manuscripts, which have proved invaluable to me in drawing up my descriptions of this important constituent of the collection. The late Professor Skeat, too, it need hardly be said, gave his assistance most readily whenever it was asked of him.
