First editions. A catalogue of the illuminated manuscripts from the Arundel and Burney collections in the British Museum. Antiquary Thomas, Earl of Arundel (1592-1646) collected more than 500 manuscript volumes many of which relate to English History. He was an early supporter of Indigo Jones and friend of Robert Cotton. The collection of Reverend Charles Burney (1757-1817) was acquired by the British Museum in 1818 for 13,500 pounds. His collection contains approximately 520 manuscripts many of which are early copies of Greek and Latin classics. Elaborately illustrated with hand-colored lithographs printed by J. Netherclift. The third volume provides an extensive index to the first two. The second and third volumes have a note in ink on front pastedown "Signet Library." Covers rubbed with wear along edges. Minor foxing of preliminary and end pages.
