Medieval Manuscript Bookmaking

Medieval Manuscript Bookmaking

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The history of books as it is studied in the U.S. generally implies post-Gutenberg products. Medieval manuscript books, which provided the pattern adopted for the earliest printed books, receive rather cursory treatment, except by specialists in a field such as art history or paleography. This book assists the person who wishes to pursue investigations into the forerunners of printed books by presenting a selected bibliography of just over 1,000 works, described in a series of bibliographic essays. The author demonstrates the search of library literature that might be generated from examining a medieval manuscript leaf inquisitively.
