Laminated illustrated wrappers, small 4to, 24 cm, viii, 155 pp, facs. 171 entries. From the introduction: "The second part of the exhibition has been researched and mounted by Mr. Stanley Gillam. It documents the building of the Divinity School during the fifteenth century and of Duke Humfrey's Library above it, and reveals a story - not unfamiliar today - of ambitious building plans thwarted for lack of funds, of tensions between those who commission a building and those who build it, and of the tendency of those responsible for large construction projects to change their minds in midstream. What is remarkable is that such a glorious building - one of the 'marvels of Oxford' (to quote Pevsner) -emerged from this 65-year building programme. The exhibition takes the story further, however, and, using contemporary views, shows how the building has been used - and sometimes abused - in the centuries following its completion." The contents comprise: Foreword; Catalogue of the Exhibits -ONE: The History of the University Library:; Section 1. Early books and masters; 2. The University library before Duke Humfrey; 3. Humfrey Duke of Gloucester and the University lib: ary; 4. Further fifteenth-century gifts and accessions; 5. John Tiptoft; 6. Use of the library in the fifteenth century; 7. Fifteenth-century readers, benefactors and scribes; 8. Fifteenth-century Oxford bindings; 9. Printing in Oxford in the late fifteenth and early; sixteenth centuries; 10. The University library in the sixteenth century; TWO: THE HISTORY OF THE BUILDING; Section 1. The building as a whole; 2. The Divinity School; 3. Duke Humfrey's Library; SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY; Index of Manuscripts and Books Exhibited; Index of Manuscripts and Books Mentioned; General Index, Wrappers yellowed, otherwise Very Good.
