APPENDIX XIV
LIST OF BOOKS AT BURTON ABBEY
(British Museum. Addit. MS. 23,944. See p. 200.)
The following list shows what books the Abbey of Burton possessed in the early part of the thirteenth century: it is not probable that many of them had disappeared by the sixteenth century. If we had a list of the books in the Abbey Library at the time of its Dissolution we should be able to form some idea as to the extent to which the Revival of Learning had influenced the monks there. Failing this we may notice with interest the number and character of English books at the end of this Catalogue, including Apollonius Anglicus (see note infra), which appears to be the only “pagan” book in the collection.
The list begins Hos habet Libros Ecclesia Burtonne, and the succeeding entries are therefore in the accusative case, e.g., “Bibliothecam in duobus codicibus.” I have, however, printed them in the nominative throughout.
