LIST OF BOOKS AT BURTON ABBEY
(_British Museum. Addit. MS. 23,944. See p. 200._)
The following list shows what books the Abbey of Burton possessed in
the early part of the thirteenth century: it is not probable that
many of them had disappeared by the sixteenth century. If we had a
list of the books in the Abbey Library at the time of its Dissolution
we should be able to form some idea as to the extent to which the
Revival of Learning had influenced the monks there. Failing this we
may notice with interest the number and character of English books at
the end of this Catalogue, including _Apollonius Anglicus_ (see
note _infra_), which appears to be the only “pagan” book in the
collection.
The list begins _Hos habet Libros Ecclesia Burtonne_, and the
succeeding entries are therefore in the accusative case, _e.g._,
“Bibliothecam in duobus codicibus.” I have, however, printed them in
the nominative throughout.
_Bibliotheca_[267] in duobus codicibus
Omeliarum ab Adventu usque Pascham }
et _Vita Sanctae Moduennae_ } in uno codice

[258] _i.e._, never.
[259] John Lambert had held this office under the Abbey at the time of
_Valor Ecclesiasticus_ (cf. _supra_, p. 90).
[260] The details of the expenses incurred by Goodrick and Scudamore
in the journey from London to Burton and back are most interesting,
showing as they do the cost of meals, etc., at the various places
where they stayed. It may be compared with the “book of accounts” of
Lenthall, auditor of the attainted lands, in his journey from London to
the North in 1541. (_Letters and Papers_, xvi, 1490.)

[266] John Williams had been one of Cromwell’s agents so long ago
as 1536 at least. In that year he had been deputed with Sir John
Clark (Commissioner of the Peace in Oxfordshire) and George Gifford
to investigate a complaint which had been lodged against Sir John
Browne that his mill “doth annoye the Kinges other Subgiettes ... in
the surunding and overflowing of their groundes.” (_Letters and
Papers_, xi, 446; cf. 227, 353, 888.) He had also been one of the
Commissioners of the Dissolution, and had visited Bury St. Edmund’s,
Ely, Winchester, Hyde, Eynsham, and Notley (Bucks.). (Cf. Wright’s
_Letters_, pp. 145, 147, 220, 233, 235.)
[267] This was a common name for the Bible down to the fourteenth
century.
[268] Four homilies on the text, “missus est angelus” (St. Luke i, 26),

[281] The work of Albertus Magnus (1193–1280) with this title can have
been hardly yet written when the list was drawn up. The “book” is
therefore more probably _Paradisus Heraclidis_, the oldest Latin
version of the _Lausiac History_ of Palladius.
