Catalogues of manuscripts are more distinctly literary works than are catalogues of printed books. Thus Mr. G. F. Warner's Catalogue of the Manuscripts and Muniments of Alleyn's College of God's Gift at Dulwich (1881) forms an indispensable portion of any Shakespearian or dramatic library. The various catalogues of manuscripts in the Bodleian Library, and the Catalogue of the Cambridge University Manuscripts,[35] are additions to general literature of a very high character.
