Introduction

The following Bibliography has been designed to make it easy to use in connection with Massey's works presented in this site. The same is applicable to the Bibliographical Index. Both should be used in conjunction since they cross-reference each other. The Bibliography enhances the extensive notes I have added to the references. It also contains, where possible, links to published versions of titles available online for download. At the time of setting up this site, all links were fine and none appeared to be broken. However, like most things in life things change, including the availability of works online. With the constant emergence of other works becoming available whilst others go offline, it is not possible to keep this page up to date. My apologies if you are taken to a webpage that no longer exists. However, thanks to Google, many of these can be read online, particularly Massey's works, either in part or full. Go to http://books.google.com and search for relevant titles. But be warned: many of the titles they purport to publish are available for previewing purposes only. And multiple volumes, usually published by the likes of Kessinger, are not available to download in their entirety, so one is left  with an incomplete set to view. And do check the immensely useful resource www.digitalbookindex.com with its powerful search tools for any titles.

The Bibliography itself should be approached with caution. It should be considered as a virtual library, if you will, of all the works Massey consulted, and does not reflect in reality all the editions and works he used that were available to him during the time when he was writing. Rather, I have had to settle for a compromise as it has been almost impossible to verify every single edition or publication where he gives no information. As much as I would have wished, this was simply not practical. I therefore have opted for a few rules of my own choosing when selecting the publications he might have used. These can be listed as follows: 

1.      Where Massey has in only a few instances given full publication details for the books and journals, etc., he has used, this has presented no problem. They will be found as listed. However, if he has used any edition other than the first, I have given the first edition publication details beneath that entry.

2.      Where Massey has used an English translation of a foreign text, I have given the publication details of the English editionand also the publication details of the original edition, as in some cases there is an enormous difference between publishing dates.

3.      Where he has given no details regarding which edition he has used, I assume it is always the first, and have provided the details for the first edition only.

4.      Where he has used a foreign work but does not state he has used an English translation, I have assumed he has used the original language edition. (No English edition has been given unless that was published first.)

5.      Where he has used Classical texts in Greek or Latin, I have assumed he has used the texts in their native languages. (The exception to this rule are the popular Classics where it would present a significant problem in judging which edition was used out of the many available. In some cases there are hundreds. I have preferred to let these stand as they are by title alone.)

6.      Where he is quoting from the Church Fathers, I have bent these rules slightly to my own advantage and have settled for the best editions that were available in his time for those where no publication details are given, unless the reference is borrowed and the edition is given in the primary source.

With these rules in mind, do not believe for one moment the Bibliography to be fool-proof. This is far from the case. It should be considered as a work in progress only as there are still a few omissions and references unaccounted for. Due to the scanty information provided by Massey, the numerous problems this has resulted in has meant a lot of speculation on my part where I have been unable to verify for myself that the full name of the author and title is correct. These will be found enclosed in square brackets. Where there is a question mark outside the brackets it means there is still doubt in my mind regarding the attribution and identification.

The bibliographer's job is always an unenviable one. This was particularly so when compiling this bibliography. I have endeavoured to maintain the highest level of accuracy as far as possible. In a few cases admittedly I have failed; this is not for want of trying. I have expended considerable time in tracking down all the sources he has used, confronting many language barriers on the way, resulting in more time than I wanted to waste, making the task in itself one of great labour. This has not been helped by the many inconsistencies in Massey's referencing, his appalling errorsespecially in the spelling of authors' names, abbreviated titles of books, wrong volume numbers, even wrong dates, etc.,—which has left it in a far less complete state I would have wished.

I was helped immensely at the outset of this task by accessing the British Library Catalogue of Books on CD-ROM, but even this is not perfect as it does not cross-reference adequately alternative spellings of foreign names. Being based on Boolean logic, it requires the utmost precise details. One letter wrong or missing in a name can throw the whole search out, and at one point I made a note of erroneous names supplied by Massey which, had he spelt them correctly, would have saved an enormous amount of valuable time.

I will give a small sample of Massey's misspellings followed by the correct orthography in brackets. In no particular order: Lipscombe (Lipscomb), Æcumenius (Œcumenius), Plott (Plot), Boyce (Boyse), Barrow (Borrow), Mill (Mills), Prise (Prisse), Mallebranche (Malebranche), Riis (Ris), Amiot (Amyot), Roland (Reland), Beechy (Beechey), Boaz (Boas), Palme (Pallme), and many others that can be found listed in the Index. This does not include those name that are now spelt differently or the foreign names where the British Library has opted for a more correct rendering. And I have followed their example by placing these authorities under their correct names, not necessarily as Massey has given them. Thus you will find Caylus under Tubieres as that is his proper name, Veytia under Fernandez, De Sacy under Silvestre de Sacy, D'Alviella under Goblet, etc. If in doubt, consult the Index where the alternatives are given. I have departed from the British Library's cataloguing of names where I strongly disagree with them and have opted to enter those names that would be more readily familiar to us where you would expect to find them if listed alphabetically. Thus you will find Voragine under Voragine, not under Jacobus as the Library has it, Chrysostom under Chrysostom, not under John, etc. Again, if you cannot find the entry where you would expect to find it, consult the Index.

The original plan has always been to make this an informed bibliography, rather than just a straightforward list of names and titles. Thus dates have been provided for each author, where possible, and short annotations on the titles where it was felt necessary to clear up certain misunderstandings and point out Massey's errors. All entries marked with an asterisk denote borrowed references with the source of the reference given directly beneath that entry (see my essay on Massey's extensive use of this method).

Lastly, this is only an attempt at a complete bibliography of all the works cited by Massey. It does not profess to be definitive, but only a possible one had he so decided to include one in his works in the first place. As he did not, I have done my best to provide for the first time a near as complete reference point for all those interested in the background sources behind Massey's thinking, as well as giving an overview of the full range of his fields of interest. And had he taken more pride in his referencing, been a bit more meticulous in his details, this compiler would have been far happier: as it is he has had to struggle with the elusive and downright equally obscure that are still untraceable which has inevitably resulted in a few gaps here and there. Hopefully these do not reveal too much of a shameful ignorance on my part and will be gradually amended when this site is constantly updated. For now, this will have to do. Also, I will be most grateful to any visitor to this site if they care to enlighten me on some obscurities as well as notifying me of any errors and omissions I might not be aware of.
