Grant Description
This project closes a major gap in Scottish book history by recovering the contents of the royal libraries of James VI and I. Identifying his books, establishing their use, and exploring their Scottish bindings, the project situates his library in the context of Scottish and English book culture. By tracing the content and extent of James' library
throughout his reigns it addresses if and how habits of collecting changed after the King's move to London, offering an important window onto the similarities and differences between Scottish and English book collecting practices and their respective book trades at this time.
