Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive catalogue of medieval manuscripts and incunabula from the collection of famous bibliophile, William Beckford. Despite being printed in the 19th century, it is an important work for historians who study the development of printing in Europe. Through the author's in-depth research, this book offers insights into the work of medieval scribes and bookbinders as well as the provenance of medieval texts. It is an invaluable reference tool that provides an abundance of information on the materials and techniques used to create books in Europe from the days of Nicolas Jenson to the present day.
