A Reluctant Author Cardinal Pole and His Manuscripts

Cardinal Reginald Pole (1500-1558) left an abundance of manuscripts that have lacked an inventory and description. This catalogue contributes to a critical edition of some of his major works. Detailed entries describe in palaeographical and codicological terms the state of Pole's manuscripts, attempting to make available to researchers information that has never been collected or published. Includes an in-depth biographical sketch.
