Livre Edition originale
Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, 21 cm, 31, [1] pp, colour ills. 11 items. From the blurb - "This primer provides a glimpse into the fascinating field of diplomatics, or the study of documents. Diplomatics is concerned mostly with the study of legal and administrative records through a detailed examination of their physical and textual (including linguistic) characteristics. As presented here, the typology of such documents-charters, registers, diplomas, acts, writs, bills, reports, cartularies, etc. - offers a representative overview of surviving examples. We hope this primer will trigger renewed interest in the study of documents and even open up whole fields of research that have never been attempted as Christopher de Hamel suggests in his thought-provoking introduction. As works of human enterprise in their own right, such documents are likely to reveal much about medieval and early modern Europe, and about its books, literacy, and the lives of its people." The items listed comprise: Charters, Abbey of Saint-Denis; Register of oaths, Venice; Charters, Blois and Dunois; Mary Magdalena transumpt; Charters, Bude family; Marriage certificate; Register of Writs; Vidimus to Innocent VIII; Franciscan papal documents; Notarial records; Diploma, Valence; Diploma, Padova. Very Good. Printed price-list laid in.
