St Andrews University Library

A revised transcript of the 'Foundation List' of 1612-13 in St Andrews University Library (Catalogus librorum Bibliothecae Communis Academiae Andreapolitanae) Sources for Library History, 1 By R. V. Pringle See also Sources for Library History, 2-3 Contents Description of the MS. Notes on the Catalogue Catalogus librorum Bibliothecae Communis Academiae Andreapolitanae Description of the MS. The manuscript here transcribed occupies pp. 267-273 of St Andrews University Records UY/152/2 (Registrum Almae Academiae Andreapolitanae), and is the original from which the "Catalogus librorum Bibliothecae Communis Academiae Andreapolitanae" or 'Catalogue of the Common Library' was printed in the Maitland Club Miscellany vol. 1 pt. 2 (1834), pp. 322-329. The manuscript is in the hand of Robert Howie, Principal of St Mary's College from 1607 to 1647. Begun in December 1612, the last entry appears to have been made in 1613 (see the transcript), but there is a very much later addition (perhaps also in Howie's hand) dated 1636 or later. Notes on the Catalogue Many of the items listed are still to be found today on the shelves of the University Library ¹ forming part of the named Royal, Abbot and Junius collections, or the more general Typographical Collection. Most reappear in the 'Lentron' catalogue of c.1644 (Sources for library history, 2) and the 1687 'Fairweather' catalogue (Sources for library history, 3). The Royal Family gifts are normally found with a gold or blind-stamped version of the ancient University seal on the upper and lower outer covers. Some nineteenth-century re-binds carry a later version of the seal. Books given by Archbishop Abbot are uniformly bound with the Archbishop's arms stamped in gold on the covers, while volumes presented by Patrick Young, Robert Spottiswood and William Edmundson carry printed labels inside; and those donated by William Young and (in 1636) George Hamilton have fly-leaf inscriptions. Identification is also possible from pressmarks which indicate a Common Library ² provenance. Catalogus librorum Bibliothecae Communis Academiae Andreapolitanae. 1612. 1 Decemb.

Notes Further details are available in the typewritten transcript issued by St Andrews University Library as Sources for library history, 1. For some historical background, see my 'Note on the early history of St Andrews University Library'. The term 'Common Library' properly refers to the University Library before 1783, when the libraries of St Salvator's and St Leonard's Colleges were incorporated into the modern University Library. 'Parisiis' inserted above 'Basileae'. 'Matthaeus Vestmonasteriensis' inserted before 'Flores' by a later hand Space left at the beginning for the author's forename (Emmanuelis) Identified volumes from this source in St Andrews University Library carry a printed label: "Robertus Spotsvood Archiepiscopi Glascuensis filius natu secundus dono dedit Bibliothecae Andreanae anno 1613." Identified volumes from this source in St Andrews University Library carry a printed label: "Liber Bibliothece Andreane ex dono magistri Gulielmi Edmundsoni Angli, SS. Theologie Baccalaurei, Socii Collegii Reginae in Academia Oxoniensi." The flyleaf of this volume (JunBT1010.L2C12 in St Andrews University Library) is inscribed: "Gulielmus Junius Aberdonensis dono dedit Bibliothecae Andreanae Anno. Dom. 1613." The flyleaf of this volume (TypSwG.B70CB in St Andrews University Library) is inscribed: "Emptus ab haeredibus Andreae Melvini 1626. Georgius Hamiltoun." And then, in another hand: "Marti [sic] 30 1636 dedicavit Bibliothecae Andreanae donandum amoris testimonium."
