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

This title was first published in 2000: This second volume of
studies by the late Professor Offler looks first at the interaction
of the temporal and spiritual powers in Germany, Italy, France and
England, especially in the earlier 14th century. A second focus is
on the political works of William of Ockham, the editions of which
represented a major part of Offler's work. Particular articles
include an examination of the government of late medieval Germany,
and the publication of two sermons by Pope Clement VI. The final
piece, hitherto unpublished, provides an edition and study of the
Latin version of the 'victory sermon' of Thomas Bradwardine,
delivered in late 1346 before Edward III and the English army at
the siege of Calais. The introduction, by L.E. Scales, discusses
the present state of Offler's scholarship and is followed by a
complete bibliography of his publications.

Essays exploring different aspects of late medieval and early
modern manuscript and book culture. Late medieval manuscripts and
early modern print history form the focus of this volume. It
includes new work on the compilation of some important medieval
manuscript miscellanies and major studies of merchant patronage and
of a newly revealed woman patron, alongside explorations of
medieval texts and the post-medieval reception history of Langland,
Chaucer and Nicholas Love. It thus pays a fitting tribute to the
career of Professor A.S.G. Edwards, highlighting his scholarly
interests and demonstrating the influence of his achievements.

The papers in this volume, which include three left unpublished at
the time of Professor Offler's death in 1991, cover the period from
the 9th to the 14th centuries; They well exemplify Offler's command
of historical narrative and his technical skills as a historian.
Their main concern is with the northernmost counties of England, in
particular with the diocese of Durham and the activities of its
bishops, but some cross the border into Scottish history. Many
provide a careful evaluation of crucial documentary evidence for
the period; others give vivid reconstructions of particular
personalities or events.
Influential scholars from Britain and North America discuss future
directions in rapidly expanding field of manuscript study. The
study of manuscripts is one of the most active areas of current
research in medieval studies: manuscripts are the basic primary
material evidence for literary scholars, historians and
art-historians alike, and there has been an explosion of interest
over the past twenty years. Manuscript study has developed
enormously: codices are no longer treated as inert witnesses to a
culture whose character has already been determined by the modern
scholar, but are active participants in a process of exploration
and discovery. The articles collected here discuss the future of
this process and vital questions about manuscript study for
tomorrow's explorers. They deal with codicology and book
production, with textual criticism, with the material structure of
the medieval book, with the relation of manuscripts to literary
culture, to social history and to the medieval theatre, and with
the importance to manuscript study of the emerging technology of
computerised digitisation and hypertext display. The essays provide
an end-of-millennium perspective on the most vigorous developments
in a rapidly expanding field of study. Contributors: A.I. Doyle, C.
David Benson, Martha W. Driver, J.P. Gumbert, Kathryn Kerby-Fulton,
