Fresh contributions to the study of medieval manuscripts, texts,
and their creators. This exciting collection of essays is centred
on late medieval English manuscripts and their texts. It offers new
insights into the works of canonical literary writers, including
Geoffrey Chaucer, John Gower, William Langland, Walter Hilton and
Nicholas Love, as well as lesser-known texts and manuscripts. It
also considers medieval books, their producers, readers, and
collectors. It is thus a fitting tribute to one the foremost
scholars of the history of the book, Professor Toshiyuki Takamiya,
whom it honours. Simon Horobin is Professor of English Language and
Literature at the University of Oxford; Linne Mooney is Professor
of Medieval English Palaeography in the Department of English and
Related Literature at the University of York. Contributors: Timothy
