Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex (1773-1843) was the 9th child (6th son) of King George III of the United Kingdom and his wife, Queen Charlotte, born in 1773. In November, 1801, he was created Duke of Sussex. He was made Baron Arklow and Earl of Inverness at the same time, also in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. Duke of Sussex is a substantive title, one of several royal dukedoms in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It is a hereditary title of a specific rank of nobility in the British royal family. It has been created twice and takes its name from the historic county of Sussex in England. The title became extinct upon the Prince's death in 1843. The title was revived when Queen Elizabeth II bestowed it on her grandson Prince Harry on 19 May 2018 just before his marriage to Meghan Markle, who then became the first ever Duchess of Sussex. On his wedding day, it was announced that he would become Duke of Sussex in England, with the subsidiary titles of Earl of Dumbarton in Scotland and Baron Kilkeel in Northern Ireland. In 2019, an heir to the dukedom and the other titles, Prince Archie of Sussex was born.

He assembled an outstanding library at Kensington Palace, containing around 50,000 books and manuscripts. All were picked individually to reflect the Prince's interests and over a quarter related to theology. Thomas Joseph Pettigrew (1791-1865) the Duke's personal librarian, crafted a two-volume Bibliotheca Sussexiana, a partial catalogue with notes on the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin Bibles, which he followed up with a second volume in 1839, covering the Bibles in other languages including, not only, English, German, French, and Italian but also Coptic, Arabic, Slavonic, and so forth. In the preface to that volume, Pettigrew expresses his regret that he wasn't able to complete a catalogue of the entire vast library or even just the biblical portions. Pettigrew was also known as "Mummy" Pettigrew, because for private par. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers RAREE1532RZBB
