Following the dissolution of the monasteries in the 1530s and the dispersal of their libraries, a number of British collectors set to work to recover as much as possible. Of their second generation, Sir Robert Cotton (1571-1631) was an outstanding member, also acquiring a wide range of other material. Indeed, so important was his library that it became one of the foundation collections of the British Museum in 1753. Significant records - never previously studied as a whole - survive from the early years of Cotton's library and this book edits and analyses these, throwing important new light on Sir Robert, his son and grandson as collectors, and providing much fresh evidence on the history of their collection and its development.

The library of Sir Robert Cotton (1571-1631) is arguably the most important collection of manuscripts ever assembled in Britain by a private individual. Amongst its many treasures are the Lindisfarne Gospels, two of the contemporary copies of Magna Carter and the only surviving manuscript of Beowulf. It was bequeathed to the nation by Sir Robert's granson in 1701. The British Library is currently engaged in laying the groundwork for a new and definitive catalogue of the manuscripts.

"Traces the fortunes and misfortunes of the collection of 17th-century courtier Sir Robert Cotton. The highlights of Cotton's library include some of the most important documents of Anglophone civilization: the sole manuscript sources of 'Beowulf' and 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, ' two of four surviving 1215 copies of Magna Carta, and the masterfully illuminated Lindisfarne Gospels . . . If the Cotton library is a collector's dream, however, the history of the library often approaches a bibliophiles's horror story. Cotton served time as a prisoner, twice, on charges concealing royal discomfort with his library's ties to political critics. King Charles I locked up the library itself in 1629. Through the centuries that followed, war, intrigues, neglect, corrupt library-keepers and later collectors' poaching all threatened the collection's ruin repeatedly. With some tragic exceptions, though, the Cotton library has survived them all"--Back cover.
