REFERENCE LIST In this List are included the names of writers and works frequently cited in the foregoing pages; for monographs to which but a single reference is made, see Index. For the publication of British learned societies down to 1864 see Lowndes as below, Appendix, vol. VI; and see the British Museum Catalogue, s.v. Academies. For the Transactions of such societies see the Official Yearbook of the Scientific and Learned Societies of Great Britain and Ireland, published by Griffin annually since 1884; these meetings are also usually summarized in the Athenaeum or the Academy. For German dissertations and programs see the Bibliographischer Monatsbericht über neu erschienene Schulund Universitätsschriften, published by Fock, Leipzig, monthly since 1889. For lists of works on English subjects see the Jahresbericht über die Erscheinungen auf dem Gebiete der germanischen Philologie, Berlin For 1879 ff.; and the Uebersicht published with Anglia since 1894. articles in the principal literary magazines see Poole's Index as below. To the names of journals containing longer and more important Chaucer articles, e. g., Anglia, Englische Studien, Modern Philology, a condensed list of such articles is appended. With journals containing principally brief articles and notes this method has not been followed, e. g., Athenaeum, Notes and Queries. In many cases journal references are given by volume and page, Arabic numerals being used; in the cases of the Academy, Athenaeum, and New York Nation, journals which divide each year into two volumes, the reference is by the year, followed by the Roman numeral I or II and by the page. In the cases of the Deutsche Litteraturzeitung Notes and and the Literaturblatt the reference is by year and page. Queries is not cited in the usual form of series, volume and page, but by the year, followed by I or II and by the page. Arabic numerals are ased for all journals, however different their own procedure, e. g., that of the Archiv; for works complete in several volumes, such as editions of Chaucer, Roman numerals are used.

Anglia, Zeitschrift für englische Philologie, Halle 1878 ff. Quarterly. Anglia Beiblatt, containing reviews, has appeared since 1890. Before that date, such articles were appended, with separate pagination, to each volume of Anglia, under the title of the Anzeiger.

John Bagford, died 1716, was a buyer of books on commission, in the exercise of which vocation he formed two collections, that termed the Bagford Ballads, and pubd. by the Ballad Society in 1878, and the mass of titlepages and book fragments now in the British Museum. He published in 1707 proposals for a history of printing, which was however never published; but he is frequently referred to as an authority in Dibdin's Typographical Antiquities; see also Dibdin's Bibliomania, pp. 326-331 (1876), Hearne's Remarks and Collections, and the letter to him by Hearne printed as appendix to Hearne's Robert of Gloucester, II: 596-606. In this letter Hearne speaks of an Account of the Works of Chaucer sent him by Bagford; this is apparently unprinted, but accounts of the various early printers are mentioned in the Harleian Catalogue of Manuscripts, where Bagford's collections are listed as nos. 5910 and 5892-5988. Bagford was possessed of no real scholarship; to him are due the errors regarding editions of Chaucer of 1495, 1520, 1522; and his name is held in detestation by booklovers because of the reckless mutilation to which he subjected valuable books for the sake of his collection of titlepages.

By Edward Bernard and others, Oxford 1697, folio. About two-fifths of this work is devoted to manuscripts contained in the Bodleian; these are numbered continuously up to 8716; and the student often finds early MS-references, e.g. to "Bernard 1479", a system of nomenclature now abjured in favor of specific classification, e.g., Laud 416. For several classes of MSS in the Bodleian, as Madan points out (Books in Manuscript p. 171), this "Old Catalogue" is still the only list; a revision of it is to form vols. I and II of Madan's Summary Catalogue, q.v. Other libraries catalogued in Bernard are those of Oxford and Cambridge colleges, the Cambridge University Library, and many small institutions and private libraries. Bibl. de l'école des Chartes.

Collected Papers of Henry Bradshaw, posthumously pubd. This latter contains Bradshaw's paper on the Skeleton of the Strassburg 1891, new ed. 1897, vol. II, the article on Mittelenglische Literatur is by A. Brandl; pp. 672-682 are on Chaucer. This rapid summary contains nothing of value to the student. Spurious poems included in the Morris Chaucer are discussed as genuine, e.g., Mother of Nurture, Praise of Women; it is stated that Chaucer collected sixty old books for his Legend of Good Women (p. 681), and that the Wife of Bath's prologue was sent to Scogan with the Envoy to deter him from marriage; the theory of Chaucer's eight years' love-sickness is accepted, see p. 43 here; the Prioress' Tale is termed a "Verspottung kindischer Legenden."
