Full Description

With this volume Corpus Catalogorum Belgii comes to an end. It
contains the critical edition of all surviving medieval inventories of
the library of the Dukes of Burgundy. This was in the fifteenth century
one of the most prestigious princely collections in the world,
consisting of hundreds of mostly illuminated manuscripts. The hitherto
available editions of these inventories were for the most part
incomplete or unreliable. In the present book the editors have provided
critical editions of the inventories already known, based on all
existing archival documents, and of a series of newly discovered ones.
The substantial introduction, dealing with the growth and the
organization of the collection, the notes giving complete details on the
documents and on all persons mentioned in them, and the full indices
make this book an indispensable tool for all students of medieval
literature (especially French), manuscript illumination and Burgundian
culture.
