(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Léopold Victor Delisle was born at Valognes (Manche) on the 24th of October 1826.
Delisle was taken on as a young man by the antiquarian and historian of architecture, Charles-Alexis-Adrien Duhérissier de Gerville, who engaged him to copy manuscripts in his collection, and taught him enough of the basics of paleography that he was able to gain entrance to the École des Chartes in 1846.
At the Ecole des Chartes, where his career was remarkably brilliant, Léopold's valedictory thesis was an Essai sur les revenus publics en Normandie au XIIe siècle (1849), and it was to the history of his native province that he devoted his early works. Of these the Etudes sur la condition de la classe agricole et l'état de l'agriculture en Normandie au moyen age (1851), condensing an enormous mass of facts drawn from the local archives, was reprinted in 1905 without change, and remains authoritative.
In November 1852 he entered the manuscript department of the Bibliothéque Impériale (Nationale), of which in 1874 he became the official head in succession to Jules Taschereau. He was already known as the compiler of several invaluable inventories of its manuscripts. When the French government decided on printing a general catalogue of the printed books in the Bibliothéque, Delisle became responsible for this great undertaking and took an active part in the work; in the preface to the first volume (1897) he gave a detailed history of the library and its management.
Under his administration the library was enriched with numerous gifts, legacies and acquisitions, notably by the purchase of a part of the Ashburnham manuscripts. Delisle proved that the bulk of the manuscripts of French origin which Lord Ashburnham had bought in France, particularly those bought from the bookseller Barrois, had been purloined by Count Libri, inspector general of libraries under King Louis Philippe, and he procured the repurchase of the manuscripts for the library, afterwards preparing a catalogue of them entitledCatalogue des manuscrits des fonds Libri et Barrois (1888), the preface of which gives the history of the whole transaction.
He was elected member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres in 1859, and became a member of the staff of the Recueil des historians de la France, collaborating in vols. xxii. (1865) and xxiii. (1876) and editing vol. xxiv. (1904), which is valuable for the social history of France in the 13th century. The jubilee of his fifty years' association with the Bibliothéque Nationale was celebrated on the 8th of March 1903. After his retirement (February 2I, 1905) he brought out in two volumes a catalogue and description of the printed books and manuscripts in the Musée Condé at Chantilly, left by the duc d'Aumale to the French Institute.
His output of work, in catalogues, etc. , was enormous, and his services to the Bibliothèque nationale in this respect cannot be overestimated.
