Excerpt from Biographical Notes on the Librarians of Trinity College on Sir Edward Stanhope's Foundation
A good many years ago I began filling up fragments of time by working out a complete list of my predecessors in the Librarianship of Trinity College, and adding any biographical details concerning them which came in my way. As time went on, the details grew considerably, and ultimately took form in a book, which the Cambridge Antiquarian Society is kind enough to think worth publishing. It is doubtless true that a majority of the Librarians spoken of in the following pages were little known beyond the bounds of their own College and University; still, carefully worked-out details of the past, however trifling, often have an importance indirectly to historical workers, and I am hopeful that some of the points established here may be not without their value.
Moreover, the special character of the Librarianship gives it, I think, an additional interest. It is, to the best of my belief, the only College Librarianship in either University, which forms an inten part of the foundation of its College; and further, the curious provision in the will of the founder, by which the Archbishop of Canterbury was empowered in certain cases to interpose, has more than once led to a curious history'.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides biographical details of the succession of men appointed to the position of Librarian at Trinity College, Cambridge, from its foundation by Sir Edward Stanhope in 1609. It is the only College Librarianship in either University forming an integral part of its foundation. The author has delved into the archives of the College, and from information gleaned from a variety of sources, including correspondence, admission books, and other documents, created biographical sketches of each of these men. He thereby brings to light the varied lives of these scholars, including Thomas Rotherham, the University Orator who was appointed Librarian in 1474, Clagett who was also a Cambridge University Librarian, and Humphrey Newton, a close friend of Sir Isaac Newton. The work includes discussion of the 1638 dispute over the appointment of the Librarian when the Archbishop of Canterbury claimed the right of presentation. This book will be of special interest to anyone with a particular interest in Trinity College, or in the history of either Cambridge University or academia in general.
