About this title

Synopsis

Transcriptions and translations of sixteen manuscript catalogues of a wide range of items held in the Ashmolean Museum between 1683 and 1886. The catalogues include books of benefactors to the Museum, catalogues of curiosities, gems, minerals, shells, fossils, zoological, ethnological and anthropological specimens as well as specimens collected from Cook's second Pacific voyage and curiosities from the Figi or Cannibal Islands. The second volume will publish the recently rediscovered AMS 11 which provides an invaluable record of the Museum's early collections.
