The sixtieth volume of Studies in Bibliography continues its
tradition of presenting a wide range of articles by international
scholars on bibliography, textual criticism, and other aspects of
the study of books. The volume opens with an article by magisterial
bibliographer G. Thomas Tanselle that offers on his work on
bibliographical description over forty years. Other articles range
in topic from manuscripts of the medieval poet Malory and of a
seventeenth-century nautical dictionary to the modernist
architectural journal L'Architecture Vivante. In a tour de force of
bibliographical analysis, one piece examines a play whose
idiosyncratic printing stumped the eminent bibliographer W. W.
Greg, while two others explore aspects of library history. One
piece offers new insight into the personal collection of James
Joyce, and the other identifies a sixteenth-century edition of
Copernicus from the original library of the University of Virginia.
The volume concludes with a supplement recording activities of the
Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia since its
fiftieth anniversary in 1997. The articles and their authors
include: ""Notes on Recent Work in Descriptive Bibliography,"" G.
Thomas Tanselle; ""Errors in the Malory Archetype: The Case of
Vinaver's Wight and Balan's Curious Remark,"" Ralph Norris; ""James
Shirley's Triumph of Peace: Analyzing Greg's Nightmare,"" Stephen
Tabor; ""The Manuscripts of Sir Henry Mainwaring's Sea-Man's
Dictionary,"" Amy Bowles; ""The Jeffersonian Provenance of the
University of Virginia Copy of Copernicus's De Revolutionibus:
Addendum to Gingerich,"" Samuel V. Lemley; ""Joyce's Ulysses
Library,"" Tristan Power; ""L'Architecture Vivante and Its
Extraits,"" Daniel Lawler; ""Supplement to The Bibliographical
Society of the University of Virginia: The First Fifty Years,""
Elizabeth K. Lynch and Anne G. Ribble.
