(Illuminated Manuscripts) Rickert, Margaret. THE RECONSTRUCTED CARMELITE MISSAL, AN ENGLISH MANUSCRIPT OF THE LATE.
Chicago The University of Chicago Press (1952) small 4to. cloth 152 pages, with an additional 4 leaves and 56 pages of plates.
First U.S. edition. Sometime in the 1820's the children of the collector P.A. Hanrott (Ricci, pp. 100-1) apparently cut up a medieval manuscript of their father's for use in decorating at least 5 scrapbooks. Two of these scrapbooks were later acquired by the British Museum, and in the late 1930's and 40's the original was partly reconstructed from these by the author. The manuscript proved to be a Carmelite Missal from around 1400, the only such work known from that period, with illuminations in various styles. The reconstruction required a knowledge of format, content (visual and textual), and style, which are all discussed. Additional chapters cover the influence of several illuminators of the Missal on later English mss., and describe each of the extant miniatures; an appendix explains the method of reconstruction. With bibliography, index. Plates contain 80+ illustrations, four in color. Covers rubbed with wear at spine ends.

Johns, Adrian THE NATURE OF THE BOOK. PRINT AND KNOWLEDGE IN THE MAKING.
Chicago University of Chicago Press 1998 large 8vo. quarter cloth, paper-covered boards, dust jacket. xviii, 753 pages.
First edition. The author traces the evolution of publishing, printing, and authorship, in London but also elsewhere, from the later 16th century to the early 18th, with attention to the social and legal organization of booksellers and printers, the growing awareness of the political implications of publishing and the problems of licensing, the problem of uncontrolled proliferation (piracy) and the growth of the idea of copyright, and the effect of the scientific revolution on publishing practices. The author concludes by noting that, just as printing technology per se did not decide the nature of print communication, so the new technologies will not by themselves determine the future nature of communication. Illustrated; with bibliography and index.
