Where it came from
The Wade Collection was formed by Sir Thomas Francis Wade, a British diplomat and sinologist who served as the first professor of Chinese at the University of Cambridge. During his long career in China, Wade amassed a vast library of rare Chinese and Manchu texts, which he donated to the university in 1886. This catalog serves as the primary scholarly record of those holdings, documenting a significant portion of the foundation of Chinese studies in the United Kingdom.
The catalog was produced by the Cambridge University Library to make these specialized resources accessible to scholars and researchers. It functions as a comprehensive bibliography, meticulously detailing the editions, subjects, and provenance of the volumes within the collection. The work is regarded as a vital reference for the history of book collecting and a testament to the university's enduring commitment to preserving Eastern literature.
