Cloth, 4to, 31 cm, xv, 200 pp, 144 black-and-white ills, 5 colour plates. From the blurb: "Manuscripts and early printed books - their texts and illustrations - are fundamental source materials for those interested in medieval social and cultural history. The nature of this material is not abstract and general but concrete and particular, as anyone who has seen an illuminated manuscript will know. Who made them, where, why, and for whom? These are questions that the study of book production tries to answer. While the history of medieval books is not rich in names, and a volume of essays on book production could be expected to produce only a few, the essays collected here demonstrate that it was individuals who produced and commissioned books. Some were makers: Hugo pictor; the illuminator William de Brailes of Oxford; the Parisian libraire Geoffroy of St Leger. Many were scribes, from Johannes, monk at Frankenthal in the twelfth Century, to Stephen Dodesham, monk of Witham Charterhouse in the fifteenth Century. Equally there is evidence of patrons, many of them women: Mahaut of Artois, Joan Tateshall, Hawisia de Bois, Queen Jeanne de Bourgogne, members of the Bohun family. Now and again the reader is brought close to the process and the maker - to the anonymous translator of a Latin medical collection; to a literate rubricator concerned with layout; to the opinionated scribe and encyclopedist James le Palmer. Taken as a whole, the eleven essays in this volume reveal how we come to know about the making of medieval books, the nature of the evidence and how scholars sift and weigh their findings. " Minor spotting to fore-edge and lower edge of textblock, slight abrasion (erased price?) to upper fore-edge corner of front free endpaper, otherwise Near Fine in Near Fine dustwrapper.
