paper wrappers. tall 8vo. paper wrappers. 336 pages. Reprint of the first edition. A fine copy. The techniques and approaches fostered in the first half of this century by the "New Bibliography" have spread throughout the world, developing and expanding in association with bodies, such as the Bibliographical Societies of Britain… and America. These essays, specially commissioned for this book, take "New Bibliography" into the 21st century. Surveying bibliographic and textual studies in some thirty fields, they discuss major issues and developments. Areas covered include manuscript studies and the analysis of handwriting; the physical characteristics of the book - its paper, type, and binding; enumerative and descriptive bibliography, incunabula, cartography, book illustration, book catalogues, and the Stationers' Company. This work also discusses bibliographical developments in the history of science and in many countries - the British Isles, France, Germany, Italy, North America, Japan and Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Developments in the theory and practice of editing texts (including biblical texts); the history of the book and the implications of the computer for bibliography are also focused on in this volume. These essays open possible research proposals by students and scholars, ensuring the vitality of bibliography in to the next century. These collections provide a landmark, taking stock of developments in a vast and vital area of study, and maps out its future parameters. From the Thomas M. Whitehead Collection of Books About Books.
