Synopsis

Essays focus on the study of English medieval manuscripts and early printed books. Many concern items in Professor Takamiya's own collection, often providing the first published accounts of these. The subjects range from Saint Jerome to Tolkien, with particular concentrations on Chaucer, Gower, Malory and religious and historical writings of the late middle ages. There are essays examining the work of early printers such as Caxton and de Worde, and of bibliophiles and antiquarians in modern times. Befitting a tribute to a bibliophile, this volume has been handsomely designed by Lida Kindersley of the Cardozo Kindersley Workshop in Cambridge, and is extensively illustrated with black-and-white and colour plates. The volume as a whole constitutes a substantial body of research on medieval English literature, and early books and manuscripts.
