Abstract As a serious classical scholar, Mildred Cooke Cecil, Lady Burghley (1526–1589), amassed her own collection of books to support her reading. Most of them had been recently published by significant European printers. The books can be identified from her inscriptions in them and from surviving records of the donations she made, in her lifetime, to a number of different libraries. This paper traces the present whereabouts of the books and seeks to set Lady Burghley's library in the context of women's reading and book ownership in mid-sixteenth-century England
