See More... Myers, Robin and Michael Harris (editors) ANTIQUARIES, BOOK COLLECTORS AND THE CIRCLES OF LEARNING
Winchester & New Castle, DE St Paul's Bibliographies & Oak Knoll Press 1996 5.75 x 8.25 inches printed paper over boards. 182 pages.
Part of the Publishing Pathways Series. The organization of learning in England has always depended on a web of connections between individuals within "the republic of letters." Beyond the closed confederacies of scholars and antiquaries in established centers of learning - Oxford, Cambridge and London - informal association created by shared interests in study and collecting created widening circles among like-minded people, especially from the 18th-century onwards.
Publication gave shape and meaning to the diffuse activities of individuals and societies, providing the basic mechanism for the sharing of ideas and information. Collectors, eagerly accumulating books and manuscripts as well as archaeological finds and "curiosities," had an important role in providing a scholarly resource. The contributors to this volume view the world of learning from different angles and provide original accounts of the way it worked in the fields of literature, archaeology, architecture and textual study.
This collection of essays for the Publishing Pathways Series include those by David Pearson on "Scholars and bibliophiles: book collectors in Oxford, 1550-1650," Mirjam M. Foot on "Scholar-collectors and their bindings," Robin Myers on "Dr. Andrew Coltee Ducarel (1713-1785): pioneer of Anglo-American studies," T.A. Birrell on "The circle of John Gage (1786-1842), Director of the Society of Antiquaries, and the bibliography of medievalism," Arnold Hunt on "Bibliotheca Heberiana," Janet Backhouse on "The sale of the Luttrell Psalter," Christopher de Hamel on "The illuminated manuscript collection of Edmond de Rothschild" and Bernard Nurse on "The library of the Society of Antiquaries of London: acquiring antiquaries' books over three centuries."

See More... (Pforzheimer, Carl H.) Unger, Emma V. and William A. Jackson CARL H. PFORZHEIMER LIBRARY, ENGLISH LITERATURE, 1475-1700.
3 volumes. New Castle, Delaware and Los Angeles Oak Knoll Press & Heritage Book Shop Inc. 1997 small 4to. cloth 1350 pages
Limited to 700 copies. Originally printed and limited to only 150 copies, this legendary three-volume work describes over 1,300 English literary rare books and manuscripts in the Carl H. Pforzheimer Library, one of the foremost American collections of early English literature, now housed at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center. The original catalogue, extremely difficult and expensive to find on the antiquarian market (normally priced around the $8,000 mark), fully describes all the books and manuscripts in Pforzheimer's collection of English literature, making it a most valuable reference for the scholar, researcher, librarian, book collector and bookseller. This work puts each description into various contexts: authorship, textual authority, sequence of editions and publishing history, reference concordance and rarity. The collection also gathers together the best books by the best authors in this period of English literature. Begun by Emma V. Unger and completed by William A. Jackson, the catalogue is primarily arranged in alphabetical order by author. Translations and anonymous books in most cases have been placed under the name of the translator or the attributed author. These can be readily found through full cross references and in the Index of Anonymous Books. In addition, a new addendum consisting of thirteen pages of books added later to the Library are included. Originally designed by Frederic Warde, Bruce Rogers completed the work with additional design and title pages after Warde's untimely death. After the acquisition of the Library by the University of Texas at Austin in 1986, many scholars, librarians and booksellers have urged the University to republish this catalogue. Now reproduced with great care and attention to quality, this new printing preserves Jackson's matchless style and Rogers's design. This edition is published jointly by Oak Knoll Press and Heritage Book Shop Inc. in a press run of 700 copies. The text is printed on quality 60 lb. Natural Smooth paper. The volumes are strongly bound in cloth with gold-stamped titles on the spines and the Pforzheimer monogram on the front boards.
