Three lectures, initially presented before the University of Cambridge and now collected here, examine Matthew Parker as a noted collector of books, an avid annotator, and a keen student of Old English. In these lectures Dr. Page assesses the evidence for Parker''s use of his manuscripts and printed books by drawing upon varied sources, including Parker''s very numerous annotations upon their pages, and surveys the archbishop''s role in the early-modern rediscovery and recovery of Old English and other medieval sources. Plates accompany the text to illustrate many characteristic aspects of Parker''s interventions in his books.
