Review

""Mary Richards has collected . some of the standard works of the past forty years on Old English manuscripts, ranging from a more or less traditional bibliographical approach to the use of the latest electronic methods of studying damaged manuscripts in order to tease from them letters and words long considered lost beyond recovery."-English Language Notes."

Synopsis

There are no literary studies among the 15 essays, some classic and some new. They focus on the manuscripts themselves, those copied in England before 1100, considering the history, production, analysis, and significance. In addition to specific manuscripts, general topics are discussed such as using the manuscripts, booklists, and libraries. Index
