The antiquarian researches of Sir William Dugdale (1605-86) were
initially focused on his native county of Warwickshire. Most of his manuscripts
are fair copies of the transcripts he made from original historical sources;
his Monasticon Anglicanum also made generous use
of the collections of his collaborator, the Yorkshire antiquary Roger
Dodsworth. Dugdale, whose official career was in the Office of Arms, had an
important influence on the historical and heraldic studies of his son-in-law
Elias Ashmole, and it was to the Ashmolean Museum that his manuscripts were
bequeathed; they were transferred to the Bodleian in 1860. The introduction to
the collection in the Summary Catalogue gives
details of the small number of Dugdale manuscripts which were obtained from
other sources.
