A Study of three Manuscript Sources, by Michael Travers. 116 page typescript, with 4 facsimile plates, numerous copies of letters, a 52 page manuscript of related notes, and notes on printers and publishers.

The Collection includes 24 incunabula, most in contemporary bindings, although the Caxton Polychronicon was rebound by Douglas Cockerell. Travers developed an interest in the under-researched area of post-incunabula and his Collection includes 165 examples of these and other titles from the first half of the sixteenth century, all foreign imprints of classical authors or theological works. After Michael Travers’s death, his rare book collection was presented to the University by Mrs Travers in 1978.
