First English translation of a late fifteenth century manuscript containing instructions for designing a medieval tapestry - the only such to survive. The "Troyes Mémoire", a late fifteenth-century manuscript preserved in the archives of the town of Troyes, France, is the sole surviving example of the written instructions used in designing tapestries during the Middle Ages. It is unique in its presentation of detailed information on how patrons and church officials communicated complex iconographic material to the medieval artists commissioned to paint cartoons for tapestries. It is here translated intoEnglish for the first time, with full introduction and extensive notes. The volume also includes a translation of another richly informative document from medieval Troyes: the Account Books of the Church of Sainte-Madeleine, whichintroduces us to the actual people who worked together, between 1416 and 1430, to produce a set of tapestries for the town's oldest church. They shed important new light on an era when tapestry represented a supreme form of art. Tina Kane is Conservator, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Department of Textile Conservation.

This study investigated the expansion of the tertiary education sub-sector and how it could be made developmentally oriented to foster economic growth. The author gathered relevant data by means of personal observation, archival studies and interviews with government officials, academic staff, private industry management, students, as well as, school administrators at private institutions. The study revealed that science and technology education is limited by the lack of resources which prevents most students wishing to pursue these courses from doing so. Ayisi asserts that this impedes economic development in Ghana. Lack of efficient resources such as computers and science equipment impede the production of essential technical, scientific and managerial manpower to lead the economy. The outcome of this study encourages full participation and integration of colleges, universities and professional schools in local, state/regional, and national economic planning.

La Querelle de la Rose: Letters and Documents is an English language translation of the letters and documents written and exchanged during the literary quarrel about Roman de la Rose. It began in 1401 with a letter from Jean de Montreuil, the provost of Lille and a member of the royal chancery to Christine de Pizan, and an anonymous but notable cleric. The quarrel itself should be of interest to readers of Roman de la Rose, of Medieval French Scholars, and to scholars interested in feminism and conditions of women in Medieval France. Baird and Kane's translation differs from other translations in that it includes Christine de Pizan's 1399 Epistre au Dieu d'amours and that it follows the chronological order of Potansky's 1972 German edition.
