Beadle, Richard - Piper, A.J. (eds.), New Science out of Old Books: Studies in Manuscripts and Early Printed Books in Honour of A. I. Doyle, Aldershot, Scholar Press, 1995, xii + 455 pp.
- Resum
- This international collection of original studies of late-medieval English manuscripts and early-modern printed books celebrates the life-long work of A I Doyle, formerly keeper of Rare Books at Durham University Library and Emeritus Reader in Bibliography.The broad character of Doyle's research interests is reflected in the wide range of areas covered by these essays, from late-medieval book-production, textual transmission and reception, to the part books played in the lives of English people from the 12th to the 17th century.Each study bears witness to the values represented in Doyle's work, either in the field of Middle English manuscript studies, where his contribution is unrivalled, or in the other areas such as manuscript decoration, and the study of scientific manuscripts, incunabula, and the posterity of medieval books, where his expertise is less well known.New Science out of Old Books brings together these varied interests in a body of scholarship which not only honours but continues to extend the research of one of the leading authorities on medieval English books. It is illustrated with over 60 plates, the majority showing hitherto unreproduced features of manuscripts and early printed books, and concludes with a bibliography of Doyle's own writings.
