Bale, John: Index Britanniae Scriptorum

Quos ex variis bibliothecis non parvo labore collegit Ioannes Baleus, cum aliis/John Bale's Index of British and other Writers. Edited by Reginald Lane Poole, with the help of Mary Bateson. Reprint aus: Anecdota Oxoniensia [IV: Medieval and Modern Series; Vol. 1, Part 9]/Oxford 1902. This carefully planned catalogue of British (and a few foreign) writers differs from Bale's published catalogues in two crucial aspects: the autograph is arranged alphabetically, not chronologically; and most articles provide a reference to the authority or source from which their matter is derived. This edition presents the whole of Bale's alphabetical catalogue manuscript, together with such portions of his supplementary matter as seemed to possess substantial value.
