Henry Savile of Banke (1568 – 29 April 1617) was an English manuscript and book collector. He was the son of Henry Savile of Blaithroyd, in Southowram, Halifax and a distant relative of Sir Henry Savile (1549 – 1622).[1] He was admitted to Merton College and St Alban Hall, Oxford, becoming BA in 1592 and MA in 1595. He was licensed to practice physic in 1601.[1] Very little is known of his life except for his manuscript collection. Many of his manuscripts later became part of such collections like that of Sir Robert Cotton (1571 – 1631), including one of the most important Middle English manuscripts, the Pearl Manuscript.
