From the introduction: "The papers in this volume are by past Munby Fellows, a Cambridge post founded in 1977 in memory of the bibliographical scholar Alan Munby, and derive from the Munby Seminar. Covering a diverse range of topics, they all illustrate the variety of ways in which bibliographical evidence is used to determine significant features of both manuscripts and printed books. The title Order and Connexion indicates the emphasis on two of the most important aspects of bibliography: the bringing of coherence to the sequence of manifestations of a text or a body of similar texts, and establishing the connections which texts have with the circumstances of their creation, publication, dissemination, reception, reputation, influence and survival."

Somehow, if one surveys the literature about bibliography and what it seeks to achieve, the two words which best describe an activity which has been part of the world's cultural heritage since the invention of writing are order and connexion: the bringing of coherence to the sequence of manifestations of a text or a body of texts with a similarity of content or scope, and establishing the connexions that texts have with the circumstances of their creation, publication, dissemination, reception, reputation and survival.
