Sources

Primary sources Text editions and/or modern translations – in whole or in part – along with publications containing additions and corrections, if known. Diplomatic editions, facsimiles and digital image reproductions of the manuscripts are not always listed here but may be found in entries for the relevant manuscripts. For historical purposes, early editions, transcriptions and translations are not excluded, even if their reliability does not meet modern standards.

abstract:
This paper discusses the collection of manuscripts built up by the Irish historian Sir James Ware (1594-1666) and is particularly concerned to trace its descent through a complicated series of book sales and to establish, where possible, the present whereabouts of the manuscripts. Ware's Catalogus is reproduced in full.
