History
Francis William Bourdillon (1852-1921) of Buddington, Midhurst, Surrey, made a special study of medieval French romances, particularly 'Le Roman de la Rose'. For this purpose he had brought together an extensive collection of manuscripts and early printed editions of certain French romances and of books of reference relating to various aspects of this study.
