PROVENANCE RESEARCH IN BOOK HISTORY: A HANDBOOK.
Pearson, David
Reprint of the first edition with a new introductory section containing additional references to update the original text. This book has quickly become established as a standard work in a field of rapidly growing interest. At a time when more and more people are studying private book ownership, this handbook offers a compendium of information on the ways of recognizing and identifying marks of ownership, and on placing that knowledge in a wider context. Topics covered include inscriptions; mottoes; bookplates; book labels and book stamps; armorials; sales catalogues; catalogues and lists of private libraries; provenance indices; heraldry and paleography. Co-published with the British Library.
