Hardcover with dusjacket 272 p., 64 b/w ill. + 115 colour ill., incl. 64 b/w and 115 colour illus., 305 x 230 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9781872501536. This catalogue offers introductory essays on the making and the use of medieval legal manuscripts in Cambridge collections, in order to call attention to the illuminated legal texts as splendidly decorated medieval manuscripts. Illuminated legal texts rank high among the most splendidly decorated medieval manuscripts. Their historical and artistic significance has largely escaped even specialists in art and legal history. The long-recognised discrepancy between the importance of the material and its relative inaccessibility, as well as the rich Cambridge collections, provided the incentive for an exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum. With the intention to bring this splendid material to the attention and the understanding of a wider audience, this catalogue offers introductory essays on the making and use of medieval legal manuscripts, detailed descriptions and analysis of representative examples, and rich illustrative material, aesthetically pleasing and thought-provoking. Review "...the handsome catalogue, Illuminating the law, with its generous quota of colour plates, does splendid justice to a small exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum (...), in which unexpected delights are found in apparently dry legal textbooks."

Paperback, 763 p., 210 x 270 mm. ISBN 9782503524542. Discipline jeune encore, la codicologie quantitative a deja produit des resultats tres encourageants. Pourtant, de nombreux chantiers restent encore en friche. Les formules des colophons de manuscrits occidentaux, telle la celebre Detur pro penna scriptori pulchra puella, sont sans doute l'un des plus delaisses. Tant est tenace a propos de ces " ritournelles " l'idee qu'elles ne seraient que curiosites, expression toute spontanee de la gouaille des copistes au terme de leur dur labeur. Jusqu'a present, seuls quelques chercheurs en avaient devine tout l'interet pour l'archeologie du livre manuscrit. Se fondant sur les methodes de la statistique et sur l'eclairage multidisciplinaire de l'erudition, l'auteur de cet ouvrage construit l'hypothese d'une distribution spatiale et temporelle du formulaire des colophons dans tout l'espace europeen et la demontre par l'analyse systematique d'une trentaine de formules latines clairement differenciees. Bien plus, en puisant dans la paleographie et l'histoire litteraire les elements d'une vaste fresque, il etablit un lien clair entre les cycles de vie de ces formules sur quinze siecles d'histoire du livre et les grandes respirations de l'histoire culturelle de l'Occident medieval. Dans un second volume est rassemblee la documentation utilisee pour conduire cette recherche. Elle apportera aux erudits d'utiles complements d'information sur de tres nombreux colophons des editions existantes. Ce livre consacre a un sujet codicologique inedit renouvellera, par le recours a des methodes scientifiques pointues, l'approche d'un phenomene souvent juge anecdotique, mais qui eclaire d'une lumiere singuliere le monde des copistes medievaux.

161 pages. Bibliography. Index. "Lane, a born Ulsterman, a burgher of the South African Republic but still loyal to the British cause, a storekeeper in the hamlet of Hartbeesfontein in the Western Transvaal, faced dire penalties if he did not go to war with his commando. Refusing to bear arms against his mother country, he was placed in charge of the ammunition in the main laager of General Piet Cronje, Deputy Commandant General of the Republic. Not only was he opposed to Kruger and Krugerism but he was incensed at being commandeered. He criticizes much of what he sees and hears about Cronje. This viewpoint makes the work unique and unmatched by any other diarist in the camps of the Boers." - from dust jacket.

287 pages including index and two sections of black and white photographic reproductions. "A vivid and realistic portrayal of a Japanese-Canadian community which disappeared in 1942. An admirable accomplishment." - Frank Moritsugu, Journalist. A very important work. Prior to World War II the town of Chemainus ("Chimunesu") on Vancouver Island was home to a thriving community of Japanese Canadians. They were interned in the British Columbia interior in 1942 and not allowed to return until 1949. However, most decided to take up roots elsewhere, and their significant community in Chemainus was relegated to memory. Author attended a 1991 reunion of these people in Chemainus during the O-bon festival. The reunion formed the impetus for this book, which collects poignant personal narratives by Japanese-Canadians about their lives in Chemainus before internment. Faint wear. Clean and unmarked. Glossy illustrated covers. Excellent copy. Book

157 p. front., illus., plates 19 cm. Hardcover Very good condition Signed by the author for the dedicatee Mr. Langstaff is president of the Children's Libraries Movement in England, and in this book he tells how a library for children was established in a London house which was occupied by Charles Dickens in that period of his youth which corresponds to David Copperfield's boyhood. Many persons interested in children's reading, and many admirers of Dickens had a hand in the work. The book itself contains literary contributions by Sir Owen Seaman and Alfred Noyes; drawings by Raven Hill, Frank Reynolds, H. M. Bateman, and others. It is interesting to collectors of Dickensiana, but still more so to those engaged in library work for children. -THE SAIT'RDAY REVIEW OF LITERATURE, AUGUST 8, 1925
