Albinia de la Mare (1932-2001), OBE, FBA, Professor of Palaeography
at King's College London, was one of the last century's outstanding
palaeographers and the world's leading authority on Italian
Renaissance manuscripts. In November 2011 a conference was held at
King's College and the Warburg Institute to honour her memory, and
this volume offers revised versions of most of the papers read on
that occasion, as well as three additional contributions. Tilly de
la Mare had exceptionally wide interests, including key individuals
involved in manuscript and literary production, as represented here
by studies on Vespasiano da Bisticci, Sozomeno da Pistoia, Matteo
Contugi da Volterra, Lorenzo di Francesco Guidetti, Giorgio Antonio
Vespucci, Bartolomeo Sanvito, Bartolomeo Varnucci, Francesco
Petrarca, Pier Candido Decembrio, Leonardo Bruni and Marsilio
Ficino. Important themes in the history of palaeography - the
emergence of humanist script; the relationship between script and
illumination; the competing methods of palaeography and philology;
the social, political, academic, geographical and cultural contexts
of manuscript copying and production; and the role of palaeography
in the transmission of classical texts - were also in the compass
of her scholarship and are treated in this collection. The volume
concludes with sixteen colour plates and indices of manuscripts,
incunabula and names.
