This is a new release of the original 1925 edition.
1925. A child's reading primer with the premise that the material
should be at once easy enough to be pleasurable and interesting
enough to be stimulating-so that the child, with a minimum of
attention to the difficult mechanics of the process, may be led
unconsciously to develop by much practice his newly acquired grasp
and skill...Underneath all the changing problems of method lies the
perennial problem of interest, and it is here that the special
field of this little book is felt to lie. Due to the age and
scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty or
faded.

The 'long twelfth century' (1075-1225) was an era of seminal
importance in the development of the book in medieval Europe and
marked a high point in its construction and decoration. This
comprehensive study takes the cultural changes that occurred during
the 'twelfth-century Renaissance' as its point of departure to
provide an overview of manuscript culture encompassing the whole of
Western Europe. Written by senior scholars, chapters are divided
into three sections: the technical aspects of making books; the
processes and practices of reading and keeping books; and the
transmission of texts in the disciplines that saw significant
change in the period, including medicine, law, philosophy, liturgy,
and theology. Richly illustrated, the volume provides the first
in-depth account of book production as a European phenomenon.
