About This Item
Brill, 2020. Hard Cover. As New/As New. Scholarly Book Collecting in Restoration Scotland. The Library of the Revd James Nairn (1629-1678). Library of the Written Word, Volume: 82. By Murray C.T. Simpson. 2020. Published price c£120. The wide scholarly interests of Scots in the Restoration period are analysed by Murray Simpson through this in-depth study of the library of James Nairn (1629-1678), a Scottish parish minister. Nairn's collection demonstrates a remarkable receptivity to new intellectual ideas. At some two thousand titles Nairn's is the biggest library formed in this period for which we have detailed and accurate records. The collection is analysed by subject. In addition, there is a biographical study and chapters investigating aspects of the Scottish book market and comparing other contemporary Scottish clerical libraries. A short-title catalogue of the collection, giving references to relevant online bibliographies and catalogues, a select provenance index and a subject index complete the work.
