It later acquired fortuitously an additional importance from its detailed description of many manuscripts which perished in the fire which damaged the Cotton Library in 1731. And from the quality of its scholarship and the extent of its range it retains its value as an indispensable work of reference and is today almost as useful as when it was written.
