A generous selection of diverse thought on the search for and
collection of manuscripts and autograph letters, and their role in
the history of ideas, has been culled from the first twenty years
of Manuscripts, the Manuscript Society's quarterly publication.
Priscilla S. Taylor has arranged, condensed, and, where possible,
updated fifty-six memorable articles on the rich variety of the
manuscript experience. The articles are grouped into five sections:
Pointers for the Collector; Areas in Which to Collect; Historical
Documents; Penmanship and Writing Systems; and Manuscripts as a Key
to Biography and History. The subject range is broad. Readers will
learn what to buy, how to buy, how to avoid forgeries, and how to
handle a collection.
