Cloth-backed boards, small 4to, 25 cm xx, 278 pp, 14 leaves of plates, 29 pp, ills. A reprint of Ker's pioneering 1954 study which is reproduced here with the addition of 25 pp of addenda and corrigenda: the text is linked to these and to David Pearson;s 'Oxford Bookbinding' (200) by marginal sigla. From a review by Peter Kidd in The Library: "After a brief introduction, the bulk of the book consists of a listing of more than 2,200 pastedowns, arranged in groups according to the types of binding decoration (stamped bindings, c. 1480-1516; roll bindings, c. 1574-16ZO; centrepiece bindings, c. 1565-1620, etc.). Within these broad types the entries are arranged by type of roll or stamp; and within each type, alphabetically by current location. Each entry consists of a running number, a very brief indication of the pastedowns' contents, date, number of leaves, number of columns, numbers of lines per column (when this is apparent), followed by details of the book in which the pastedowns are found, and finally there is a number referring to the types of stamps, rolls, or other ornaments that are present, if this is not clear from the sub-section in which the entry appears. There follows a section on manuscript fragments used as wrappers on Oxford college muniments'.Following the list of pastedowns there follows the 'Survey of Oxford Binding c, 1515-16Z0', synthesizing the chronological development of Oxford binding styles, decade by decade from c. 1514 to 1574, roll bindings from c. 1574 to i6zo, and so on. This book is simultaneously a masterful study of a specific detailed subject, and an astounding demonstration of a methodological approach that could fruitfully be applied, with appropriate modification, to a wide range of bibliographical enquiries.
