Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catalogue of a Selection From the Stowe Manuscripts Exhibited in the King´s Library The Stowe collection of MSS. was formed by the Marquess of Buckingham at the beginning of the present century, and derives its name from Stowe, his country seat, where it was kept. In 1804 were acquired the MSS. of Thomas Astle, Keeper of the Records in the Tower, who by his will directed that they should be offered to the Marquess of Buckingham. In the event of his refusal, the British Museum would have had the option of purchase. Astle´s MSS. comprised the Anglo-Saxon charters, the early English historical MSS., the chartularies, the Hanover Papers and other state-papers and correspondence, the heraldic and other collections of John Anstis, Garter, etc., which now form so large a part of the Stowe library. The next important addition was the collection of early Irish MSS. which had belonged to Charles O´Conor, of Belanagare, whose grandson. Dr. Charles O´Conor, became the librarian at Stowe and drew up the catalogue which was privately printed in 1818-1819. Soon afterwards were purchased the papers of Arthur Capel, 1st Earl of Essex, who served as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in the reign of Charles the Second. In this collection are included the Earl´s correspondence and various papers connected with his office. Among the miscellaneous additions made from time to time were: the ancient Irish missal with a metal case, and some early volumes in the Irish language; the correspondence of Sir Thomas Edmondes, ambassador in France and the Netherlands in the reigns of Elizabeth and James I.; the correspondence of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough with Secretary Craggs in the reign of Queen Anne; and other valuable historical papers.
