ROBERT BURTON, JOHN BARCLAY AND JOHN OWEN
I. BURTON.
i. Biography, and Burton's Library.
MSS Marshall, 132 (Bodleian), an early fourteenth century volume of
Statuta Angliae, at one time in the possession of Burton's ancestor, William
Burton, who fell in the battle of Towton, 1461. It has been used for me-
moranda, and contains a pedigree of the Burton family, medical recipes and
notes by Burton's father.
The original will of Robert Burton, proved in May 1640 in the Prerogative
Court of Canterbury, is now at Somerset house. (See, also, Stephen Jones's
Life of Burton in the 1800 edition of the Anatomy, and often in later
reprints. )
MSS Seld. supra 80 (Bodleian). Among the contents is 'A Note of
Mr Robert Burton's books, given to the Library by his Last Will and
testament Aº Dni. 1639. ' The Bodleian contains many books with Burton's
autograph. In some, passages are marked by his pen. Those of his books
which belong to the library of Christ Church have, through Osler's liberality,
been brought together and placed in a special case, with editions of the
Anatomy.
