About this product

Product Information

This acclaimed study of English medieval manuscripts and early printed books - many items from Professor Takamiya's own collection - quickly sold out in hardcover. The subjects range from Saint Jerome to Tolkien, with particular concentrations on Chaucer, Gower, Malory and religious and historical writings of the late middle ages. There are essays examining the work of early printers such as Caxton and de Worde, and of bibliophiles and antiquarians in modern times. Befitting a tribute to a bibliophile, this volume has been handsomely designed by Lida Kindersley of the Cardozo Kindersley Workshop in Cambridge, and is extensively illustrated. The volume as a whole constitutes a substantial body of research on medieval English literature, and early books and manuscripts.Contributors: Richard Barber, Nicolas Barker, Richard Beadle, N.F.

Reviews
[A] beautifully produced and scholarly volume [that] approaches infallibility: not only its recipients but the editors, contributors, and all involved in its preparation and production should feel honoured by it. THE LIBRARY Physically splendid [with] an astonishingly large number of plates. A feast of a festschrift, a banquet of a book that should not be missed. RICARDIAN
