In this monumental study, first published in 1903, M. R. James examines medieval catalogues of three important monastic libraries in Kent that were dispersed during the English Reformation. He succeeds in identifying many of the 'lost' manuscripts from those collections, now preserved among the holdings of modern universities and institutions.
