Besides their numerous essays on specific recusant topics, they were also involved in other major undertakings broadly related to their work on ARCR. Allison published catalogues of the British Library holdings of 17th century French, and Spanish and Portuguese, books (1973 and 1974 respectively); English Translations from the Spanish and Portuguese to 1700(1914); and a title-index of English books 1475–1700 (2 vols. 1976–77). Rogers was on the editorial board of the enlarged and completely revised edition of Halkett and Laing, Dictionary of Anonymous and Pseudonymous Publications in the English Language 1475–1640 (1980).

³ Pantzer, K. F. acknowledges their help in very broad terms: ‘Antony Allison and David Rogers have continually shared all new information about the main objects of their concern, recusant books, as well as a myriad of other discoveries they have come across; the latter also devised with Jackson the Indulgences section and answered harried calls for further assistance when more of these difficult items came to light’ (NSTC vol. 1, p. xiv).Google Scholar
