Abstract

Questions of prices of manuscripts may indeed not always have been a subject for gentlemen to discuss (p. 428), and they certainly became more frequent at the end of the nineteenth century, but Humfrey Wanley for one was alert to them, and recorded as much in his diary. John Whitgift was able in 1583 to borrow the Codex Bezae from Cambridge University library, and the library's records are full of private loans of manuscripts even in the 1860s and later. The other guests are Vespasiano da Bisticci, Simon Bening, Sir Robert Cotton, Rabbi David Oppenheim, Jean-Joseph Rive, Sir Frederic Madden, Constantine Simonides, Theodor Mommsen, and Sir Sydney Cockerell.
