NOTES ON THE INDEXES
The reference numbers throughout the indexes refer to the summary
catalogue numbers prefixed to the descriptions of the manuscripts.
The shelf-marks of the manuscripts are to be found printed in bold
type at the foot of each description: MS. Eng. lett. h. I. If used
outside the Library, the shelf-mark should be preceded by 'Ox£.
Bod!.' If desired, the summary catalogue number may be added in
parentheses: Ox£. Bod!. MS. Eng. lett. b. 1. (SC 40474); but the
summary catalogue number alone is not a sufficient reference.
The index entries have been compiled directly from the manuscripts,
not simply from the descriptions in the catalogue. They supply
therefore details of items (within manuscripts) which are not
mentioned in the catalogue description. Such entries in the index are
distinguished by the addition (in parentheses) of folio or page
references to the summary catalogue number. Where no folio
reference is given in the index, for an item within a manuscript, it
will be supplied in the catalogue description.
All persons who are identifiable in the Dictionary of National
Biography or equivalent works of reference, or who are mentioned in
the catalogue description, have been included in the index. Letters
have been indexed under the names of both writer and recipient.
'Letters' indicates lettersfrom, and 'letters to' indicates letters to,
the person named in the index heading. Reference must be made to
the catalogue description to identify the recipient or, in the second
case, the writer, of the letters. 'Letters to and from' indicates that
both sides of a correspondence exist within the same collection, one
side usually in the form of manuscript or typescript carbon copies.
The vast majority of index entries are to people and places. While
some attempt has been made to include subject headings, it has not
proved possible to do this comprehensively. In general, subject
headings such as 'Drama', 'Poetry' and 'Trade' have been used only
when no author or place associated with the item could be identified
and indexed. Thus, plays and poems by individual authors are
indexed only under author, not under a subject heading; and (for
example) accounts for trade with the West Indies are indexed under
the country and not the subject heading. Only anonymous works and
collections appear under the heading 'Poetry, English'. Some
categories of shelf-marks, however, reflect a very general subject
classification and the Conspectus of Shelf-Marks (pp. xix-lviii) can
be used as a rudimentary guide to some subjects.
The conventions of forms of personal names used in P. D.
Record's index to Madan's Summary catalogue have been followed
here, except that peers are indexed under their family name, and a
SUMMARY CATALOGUE
cross-reference supplied from their title. Kings, queens, princes
and princesses are indexed under their forenames, popes under their
adopted names, and holders of offices, such as bishops, under their
surnames. Where known, dates have been supplied as the principal
means of identifying individuals, but the date of birth has not been
given for people who are still alive.
Headings are alphabetized word by word, and where a name is
common to a place, a title, and a surname, the headings are arranged
in that order. In the alphabetization of entries, the umlaut has been
disregarded.
A separate index of persons who owned manuscripts before they
were acquired by the Library, and of persons who have given
manuscripts to the Library, follows the General Index.
