The Cambridge Songs

The Cambridge Songs Synopsis

Excerpt from The Cambridge Songs: A Goliard's Song Book of the Xith Century; Edited From the Unique Manuscript in the University Library

The photographs were taken by Mr W. F. Dunn of the University Library with his usual care and success. They are in size and, as far as possible, in other respects, exact reproductions of the manuscripts.

I am dedicating this book to Henry Bradshaw (of unforgettable memory) and Francis jenkinson, those two learned custodians of the treasures of our University Library in recent years, to whom no student, young or old, British or foreign, has ever applied without finding the most ready and generous help. They have taken the most lively interest in all research upon our Cambridge manuscripts and early printed books, notably in that upon our priceless Codex Gg. 5. 35, and have on several occasions rendered me valuable assistance in my own work upon the Cambridge Songs.'
