Summary
This second volume of the Catalogue of the Manuscripts belonging to Gonville and Caius College contains descriptions of the volumes numbered 355 to 721, together with an Index compiled by Mr A. Rogers of the University Library,—for which I should like to express to him my cordial thanks,—and such corrections and additions as I have been able to make to the text of both volumes. I have also put together lists of provenances, dates, donors, and scribes of manuscripts.
A large number of the books here catalogued are of fairly recent date. From no. 515 onwards there is little that is medieval; nos. 515 to 578 are the heraldic collections of Dr Knight; many of those which follow relate to the University and the College. In the case of these more modern books I have nearly always reprinted the descriptions given in Smith's catalogue without omissions, and with very few additions of my own. It seems to me that this is the portion of Smith's work which he did best, and that it would have been waste of time for me to rewrite it. The heraldic books, therefore, still await a searching examination by an expert.
