A propos de cet article

Copy of Thomas Draycott, with his name written in black ink at the top of the title page and with some marginal notes. Original publisher's beige paper pamphlet with string binding. 6" x 7 1/2."

The Cotton Library remained closed after his passing, but in 1633, ownership of the library was restored to his son, Thomas Cotton and grandson, John Cotton. Through a series of wills, the library stayed with the Cotton family until it was gifted to Britain in 1792. The Cotton Library formed the foundation of today's British Library, which still houses Cotton's entire collection. …
