<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Canterbury Cathedral Archives CCA-DCc/LA/1/16''' is a paper document of 14 leaves in a folded parchment wrapper with the inscription ''The Catalogue of the Manuscripts in the Library of Christ Church Canterbury''.<br />
Over 80 manuscripts are listed on leaves 2 to 11.<br />
The remainder of the booklet contains lists of two sets of coins and medals from the collections of Dr [[Meric Casaubon]] subscribed by canon [[John Bargrave]] with the dates 1671 and 1679.<br />
<br />
The catalogue has the date 1671 on f.11<sup>v</sup> in the subscription ''Per Dr Johan[nem] Bargraveo Vicedecano ''[sic]'' 1671.''<br />
It is possible that it was drawn up by [[Elisha Robinson]] who was ''Bibliothecarius'' in 1669 when a payment was made ''To Mr Robinson for a paper booke to write a Catalogue for the Bookes in the Library — [£]0–3–4'.''<ref> DCc/TB-5 p.52 and 56.</ref> No catalogue of the printed books has survived from this date: it is possible that it had not been completed by Elisha Robinson by the time of his death in 1670.<br />
<br />
The catalogue includes the books of [[William Somner]] which had been purchased from his widow in 1669; this may have been the reason for the instruction to the library keeper to draw up a new catalogue.<br />
