Livre Edition originale
Laminated pictorial wrappers, 8vo, 21 cm, 35 pp, colour facs. 11 items. From the blurb - "-What people read most in the Middle Ages is not necessarily self-evident even to the experienced medievalist. The present "primer" assembles a group of manuscripts that survive in many hundreds of copies to explore the idea of the medieval "bestseller." As the fascinating introduction by Professor Pascale Bourgain demonstrates, medieval "bestsellers" were the texts considered truly important, and thus preferentially copied, during the Middle Ages. Her introduction, significantly, also argues for the careful interpretation of this data, which must be understood in the context of the very complicated circumstances that affected the survival of manuscripts. The texts in this collection include some that are still read today, alongside others of equal import that are hardly known even to scholars, and almost certainly seldom read. Manuscripts of most of these texts are common and still appear regularly on the market - but it is the very fact that they are common that underlines their importance in the past and should earn them a place in collections today." Near Fine.
