George Watson Cole papers

Manuscripts

The collection consists primarily of draft article manuscripts written by George Watson Cole concerning his lifelong interest in the history of printing and the study of bookmaking. A number of documents describe sixteenth and seventeenth English printing practices and the problems they present to contemporary scholarship. In several documents, Cole annotates bibliographies of his own published works. The collection also includes an early, handwritten draft of Cole's biography of the artist Edward Vischer complete with extensive notes. Two letters from Henry Cabot Lodge responding to Cole's request for seventeenth century books and one letter drafted by Cole to the University Library of Cambridge comprise the collection's correspondence records. Several newspaper clippings describe an alleged palimpsest manuscript discovered in the Huntington collection and the ensuing controversy.
