English Medieval Books: The Reading Abbey Collections from Foundation to Dispersal

Alan Coates

Abstract

This study of the books of Reading Abbey covers not only the whole history of the Abbey from its foundation, but also charts the subsequent dispersal of its book collection. In doing so, the book illustrates intellectual life in a medieval English monastery and, in particular, valuable insights into the fate of monastic books after the Dissolution of the monasteries.

Keywords: Reading Abbey, books, medieval England, intellectual life, monasteries, Dissolution, monastic books
