The journal of a Crusading troubadour. Deny was a restless youth, determined to seek his fortune as a singer and poet as he wanders from castle to castle, from one baron's lady to another. Then he meets Richard the Lionheart. The English king is a surprise - wayward, vainglorious, full of trickery and a homosexual of dazzling charm. And he persuades Denys to join him on the most splendid and squalid tragedy in all history: the Third Crusade " Book
British Archaeological Reports (B. A. R. ) British Series 378; 101 pages; This study relates the significant bronze coinage of the usurper Carausius, 286-93, to the archaeological and historical evidence from the period. Since the publication of Roman Imperial Coinage. Volume V(ii) in 1933, many new and significant coin types have appeared. Several important hoards have been published in the intervening years which throw a new light on discussions of the chronology of the coinage, enabling a modified sequence of issues to be postulated. Part of an important hoard discovered in the 1980Aes has been reconstituted. Much information regarding the archaeology of Roman Britain in the latter half of the third century has been published during the last three decades, and this is discussed in conjunction with the coin evidence of site finds. Consideration is made of the probable methods employed in the striking of the coinage, and a new mathematical method is invoked to yield a more accurate picture of the supply of coinage under the Carausian administration. A study of the metrology of the bronze coinage is made and this includes the illustration of the metrology with a three-dimensional surface using computer graphics. Consideration of the geographical distribution of the index-marked coinage has enabled a new interpretation of the location of the minting centres to be forwarded. The older historical sources have been reconsidered and important new interpretations have been made. Certain aspects of the coinage which relate to the history have been examined in the light of newly discovered coin types. The study involved the examination of approximately seven thousand specimens of the coinage from both public and private collections and excavations.

In 8°; (16), XVI, 856, 42 (ultima carta bianca) pp. Bella legatura coeva in piena pergamena molle con titolo parlato al dorso. Tiolo chiosato da mano coeva al dorso. Bel ritratto della regina Elisabetta I a carta *8v. realizzato da Crispian van Queboren nel 1625 ed assente nelle edizioni precedenti. Frontespizio in rosso e nero. Due antiche firme di appartenenza al margine basso del frontespizio. Testatine e finalini ornati. Esemplare leggermente brunito a causa della qualità della carta elzeviriana ma mai in modo fastidioso o intenso e nel complesso in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Questa prima edizione elzeviriana, considerata la più completa e corretta, di questa celebre storia d’Inghilterra ebbe anche una contraffazione nel 1677. Lo studio è considerato come la principale fonte storica dell’età elisabettiana. L’opera che si basa principalmente sulle carte private di Lord Burghley, contiene numerose parti inerenti alla storia americana e fu grandemente apprezzata da Francis Bacon. Camden considerato fra i padri della moderna storiografia e figlio del celebre pittore Samson, fu anche celebre umanista e cartografo oltre ad abile antiquario. Lavorò a questa che fu la sua opera principale tutta la vita continuando a raccogliere informazioni e materiali dai principali personaggi della sua epoca aggiornando così il suo lavoro ad ogni nuova edizione. Sembra che oltre al materiale di Burghley, l’autore disponesse di materiale e testimonianze passategli da Sir John Fortescue , ultimo “Chancellor of the Exchequer” di Elizabeth, e di Henry Cuffe “the Earl of Essex’s secretary”.
