商品簡介
Fifteen essays by Andrew G. Watson (Oxford U.) discuss the provenance and history of medieval manuscript books during the Middle Ages and the fates that befell them in England after the end of the period of manuscript production. The volume is divided into two chronologically arranged sections: the first dealing with collectors and collections and the second containing case studies of four manuscripts. The essays were originally published between 1963-2000. Watson has added additional notes and updated information for some of the articles; he has also included a thoughtful foreword (of 13 pages) that provides a useful overview to his methodology and course of study.
