New research into medieval English literature, with a particular
focus on manuscripts and writing. This acclaimed study of English
medieval manuscripts and early printed books - many items from
Professor Takamiya's own collection - quickly sold out in
hardcover. The subjects range from Saint Jerome to Tolkien, with
particular concentrations on Chaucer, Gower, Malory and religious
and historical writings of the late middle ages. There are essays
examining the work of early printers such as Caxton and de Worde,
and of bibliophiles and antiquarians in modern times. Befitting a
tribute to a bibliophile, this volume has been handsomely designed
by Lida Kindersley of the Cardozo Kindersley Workshop in Cambridge,
and is extensively illustrated. The volume as a whole constitutes a
substantial body of research on medieval English literature, and
early books and manuscripts. Contributors: Richard Barber, Nicolas
