In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

George Santayana’s Library Books and journals owned by George Santayana were deposited at or collected by various institutions or individuals. The editors of The Works of George Santayana are aware of approximately 525 titles at nine different locations. The major repositories include: Columbia Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Butler Library, Columbia University, New York City Georgetown Special Collections, Lauinger Library, Georgetown University, Washington, DC Harvard Houghton Library, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA Le Balze Villa Le Balze, Fiesole, Italy (Charles Augustus Strong’s Villa, now owned by Georgetown University) Texas Humanities Research Center, University of Texas, Austin Waterloo Rare Book and Manuscript Room, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario Two appendixes have been included on the following pages. The first (appendix A) is a listing (alphabetically by author) of all of the books known to have been in Santayana’s possession at one time. The list includes a record number, which corresponds to the “George Santayana’s Library” database number, the author’s name, the title of the work, publication information, and repository. Any particular comments about the book are also included. Most of the books contain Santayana’s marginal notes, comments, or markings, and the majority of the titles are included in this volume, George Santayana’s Marginalia. An asterisk following the record number indicates those titles. The second is a listing, alphabetically by title (appendix T), of the books known to have been in Santayana’s possession at one time. Initial record numbers in this list refer to the more complete alpha by author list in appendix A. The Santayana Edition obtained photocopies of bibliographic records from the major repositories. From these records and John McCormick’s notes, a library database has been compiled that contains the following fields: Record number Inclusion or not in McCormick’s volume Type of publication Author’s name Title Publisher and place of publication Year of publication Number of pages Name of repository Library catalog number Reference comments Not all fields are included in the following appendixes. However, it is the intention of the Santayana Edition to post and maintain the complete database of “George Santayana’s Library” on the Santayana Edition Web site. The database will be updated as more information is received. 2:428 George Santayana’s Library [3.144.172.115] Project MUSE (2024-04-26 08:36 GMT) 1 * Abell, Walter.
