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.
