This is the first full catalogue, with a large number of illustrations.\n\nThe College of Corpus Christi, Oxford, was a 'Renaissance' institution both as to its foundation date [tel] and the intention of its founder, Richard Fox, bishop of Winchester. Both Fox himself and his choice as the College's first President, John Claymond, were friends of Erasmus, who approved of the foundation and especially of its library. Fox intended his foundation to be a conduit of Italian humanism to Oxford and to the English clergy.\nIn .
