THE LUMLEY LIBRARY: A SUPPLEMENTARYCHECKLIST

D. G. SELWYN

T H E notes that follow relate to some eighty-nine printed books and manuscripts fromthe collection of John, Lord Lumley (1534-1609), on which new information has becomeavailable since the publication in 1956 by Sears Jayne and Francis Johnson ofthe 1609Catalogue of the Lumley Library from a manuscript in Trinity College, Cambridge.^The list concludes with a further seven items which, although not recorded in the 1609Catalogue, had also belonged at one time to Lumley. Most of these new identificationshave come to light in the course of reconstructing the library of archbishop ThomasCranmer (1489-1556), first attempted by Edward Burbidge in 1885.̂ The greater partof the books and manuscripts which have survived from Cranmer*s library came toLumley by way of his father-in-law, the Earl of Arundel, Queen Mary's Lord HighSteward, who acquired the books when the archbishop's property was confiscated hythe Crown shortly after her accession in 1553. Cranmer's books, in fact, formed thenucleus of Lumley's library and carry the names of both owners and, in a very fewinstances, of Arundel as well (e.g. Li24). Of the 615 printed books and manuscriptsof Cranmer's that have so far been located, only seventy-two are without Lumley'sownership inscription.^ For this reason, the list that follows records where relevantboth Cranmer's as well as Lumley's ownership, although other Cranmer books identifiedsince Burbidge which did not pass to Lumley are not included here.''̂

The information given in the notes falls into four categories:

I. Additional books and manuscripts bearing Lumley's ownership inscription whichhave been identified since Jayne and Johnson published their Catalogue in 1956.Although the great majority of Lumley's books came to the British Museum (now theBritish Library) when the old Royal Library was presented to the nation byGeorge II in 1757,̂ much ofthe collection is now widely dispersed. Lumley himselfgave away many of his books, mostly duplicates, during his lifetime, making notablebenefactions to the University Library, Cambridge, in 1598 and to the Bodleian Library,Oxford, in the following year. Sales of 'duplicates' by the British Museum during thelate eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries have contributed further to this dispersion,as the list printed here demonstrates.^ In their edition of the 1609 Catalogue, Jayne

136

and Johnson recorded twenty-three locations, other than those already mentioned andexcluding those in private libraries: twenty in Britain, and one each in Germany, Eire,and the United States. Since then the number of recorded locations has increased bya further sixteen, of which six are in the United States and one in Germany."^ Of thesixty-one new Lumley items recorded here, all but hvc are in the collections ofinstitutions, such as public, university, college, or cathedral libraries. Of the otherfive, two (nos. i and 7) are known to be in private collections; the whereabouts of theother three (nos. 23, 26, and 55), all listed in recent sale catalogues, are not known forcertain.

2. Five items (nos. 25, 32, 35, 63, and 84)—at present not located—which are listedeither in the Catalogue of the old Royal Library (ORC) or in Burbidge as of Cranmerprovenance may also have come into Lumley's possession, since entries for books ofthe same editions exist in the 1609 Catalogue of Lumley's Library. ORC, an alphabeticalauthor catalogue in manuscript, begun probably soon after the Royal books came toMontagu House in 1757^ and preserved in the Department of Printed Books, recordsdetails not only of a book's size, place of publication, and date, but also the initials ofthe former owner: 'L ' for Lumley, 'AL' for books which belonged successively toArundel and Lumley, and *TC' for Cranmer. Where books bear the ownership inscriptionsof both Lumley and Cranmer, ORC generally lists the book with the initials ' T C \ theearlier of the two owners. In the case of four of these unlocated items, for which thereis independent evidence, provided by the 1609 Catalogue, that Lumley possessed a copy, itmay not be unreasonable to suggest at least the possibility of the converse: that a booklisted in ORC with the initials 'TC* may also have belonged to Lumley. Without thesupporting evidence of the 1609 Lumley Catalogue entry, the rule would not hold,since there are at least ten of Cranmer's books listed in ORC, still in the British Library,which do not carry Lumley's signature.^ But the possibility remains, and this isstrengthened in those instances where there is a corresponding entry in the 1609 LumleyCatalogue, as there is in four of the instances listed below (nos. 25, 35, 63, and 84).The fifth item in this category (no. 32), a 1528 Tertullianus, was listed by Burbidgeas belonging to Cranmer. Burbidge's interest, however, was in reconstructing Cranmer'slibrary and he did not record other provenance details such as Lumley's ownership.Unfortunately, the present whereabouts of Cranmer's Tertullianus is not known, butLumley certainly owned a copy of this same edition (L867) and it is possible thereforethat this copy, like so many of Cranmer's books, did in fact pass to Lumley.

3. The list supplies some further information, chiefly relating to provenance, aboutLumley books already identified by Jayne and Johnson. Thus a dozen of the bookslisted by Jayne and Johnson as belonging to Lumley have now been found to carryevidence of Cranmer's ownership as well (nos. 10, 15, 16, 20, 24, 27, 30, 41, 44^ 66,67, and 81), and a further two (nos. 19 and 41) that of Humphrey Lloyd (d. 1568),Lumley's brother-in-law, nearly eighty of whose books have now been identified inLumley's library. ̂ ° In addition, where books have left the British Library in one ofthe British Museum Duplicate Sales, details have been given of the relevant entry in

137

ORC and, where available, the year ofthe sale has been supplied." Attention has alsobeen drawn to the few instances where there is some doubt as to whether a bookidentified as a Lumley copy is in fact the one listed in ORC (e.g. nos. 51, 61, 63, and76). In such cases it is quite possible that a further Lumley copy still has to be found.Finally, in two instances (nos. 2 and 11) it is suggested that the conjectured Cranmerprovenance is doubtful.

4. The notes take account of a number of recent changes in the British Libraryshelf-marks (nos. 48 and 54.2), suggest a different interpretation of three of the 1609Lumley Catalogue entries (nos. 47, 49 and 54), and make a few minor corrections (nos.14, 22, 60, 83, 86, and 87).

The major single source of these new Lumley identifications has been the Catalogueofthe old Royal Library, since many ofthe entries there ascribing ownership to Cranmerhave brought to light books of Lumley provenance as well. A number of annotatedcopies of Burbidge's reconstruction of Cranmer's library, notably those in the UniversityLibrary, Cambridge (annotated by the late F. J. H. Jenkinson), and in DurhamUniversity Library (annotated by Dr. A. I. Doyle) have also proved valuable in drawingattention to additional Cranmer books, some of which later passed on to Lumley. ̂ ^But the most promising source of new information in the future, beside Sale catalogues,remains the growing number of provenance files and indices in the great institutionallibraries. Despite the additional Lumley items recorded here there seems no reason torevise the opinion ofthe editors ofthe 1609 Lumley Catalogue in 1956 that 'there arepresumably several hundred others scattered in various places throughout the world'(p. 37). It is hoped that the publication of this modest supplement will encourage theirpresent owners to report them.^^

3 547 printed books (55 of which are not Lumley's)and 68 manuscripts (of which 17 are not Lum-ley's). The majority of non-Lumley items (38printed books and 13 manuscripts) are locatedoutside the British Library and were never partof the old Royal Library.

4 Details of these appear in my forthcoming Cata-logue of the Library of Archbishop ThomasCranmer (hereinafter, CLC).

5 The later history of Lumley's collection in theold Royal Library is fully covered in J & J andneed not be repeated here.

8 J & J, P- 295, n. 6. ORC does not recordshelf-marks, and the actual identification of the

relevant copy is determined by the evidence ofthe book itself, usually the presence ofthe owner-ship inscriptions 'Lumley* or 'Thomas Cantu-arieniw' on the title-page or the appropriate spineinitials. The types of evidence in other cases arediscussed in J & J, p. 36 f.

14 I would like to thank the librarians and staff ofthe libraries listed here who have dealt with myqueries concerning Lumley books in their care-I am also grateful to Mr. Barry McKay, Mr.J. C T.
