M.R. James (1862-1936) is probably best remembered as a writer of chilling ghost stories, but he was an outstanding scholar of medieval literature and palaeography, who served both as Provost of King's College, Cambridge, and as Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, and many of his stories reflect his academic background. His detailed descriptive catalogues of manuscripts owned by colleges, cathedrals and museums are still of value to scholars today. James's catalogue of the extensive manuscript holdings of Trinity College was first published in four volumes between 1900 and 1904, the final volume consisting of plates and an index. Now reissued, it will be welcomed by librarians and researchers alike.

Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was a student of Magdalene College, Cambridge, & bequeathed his personal library of 3000 volumes to the College on condition that the contents remained intact & unaltered; they remain there, in his original bookcases, to this day. In the early twentieth century, a project to produce a complete catalogue was begun, & four volumes were published between 1914 & 1940. Volume 3 lists 51 volumes of medieval manuscripts, some of them consisting of several items bound together. The author, the outstanding palaeographer & prolific writer of catalogues M.R. James, remarks on the almost total absence of Latin liturgical & theological manuscripts, & calls attention to the historical, literary & scientific writings in English & French, several picture-books, an interesting 'scrapbook' & a unique copybook from 1400 included in Pepys' collection.
