(Virgil) Kallendorf, Craig A CATALOGUE OF THE JUNIUS SPENCER MORGAN COLLECTION OF VIRGIL IN THE PRINCETON UNIVERSITY LIBRARY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2009 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover, dust jacket 544 pages
The Junius Spencer Morgan collection at Princeton University consists of over 700 titles (totaling around 900 volumes) of editions of the Roman poet Virgil (70-19 BC), in Latin and in various vernacular languages. Technically the collection includes items ranging from the first printed edition (Rome, 1469) to the present, but the focus is strongly on material published in the early modern period.

This collection was formed by Junius Spencer Morgan, the nephew of the financier J. P. Morgan. Morgan's interest in Virgil was undoubtedly encouraged during his student days at Princeton and reflects his efforts to obtain the best copies he could find of items noteworthy for their scholarship, their illustrations, or their place in publishing history. The result is one of the largest collections of early printed editions of Virgil in the world, a collection whose balance and integrity make it the proper beginning place for research in this field. Given Virgil's central place in western education during the early centuries of printing, the catalogue of the Morgan collection should be of interest to art historians, cultural historians, and historians of education as well as classicists and specialists in printing history and the history of the book. This handsomely-produced volume includes close to fifty full-page color illustrations from the collection.

Craig Kallendorf received his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina, and is Professor of Classics and English and Cornerstone Faculty Fellow at Texas A&M University. His recent books include two Oxford monographs on Virgil: Virgil and the Myth of Venice: Books and Readers in Renaissance Italy (1999) and The Other Virgil: Subversive Readings of the Aeneid in Early Modern Culture (2007), along with bibliographies of early Italian printed editions of Virgil and of the Aldine collection at the University of Texas. For Oak Knoll Press, he has co-edited The Books of Venice / Il libro veneziano (2009) and is working on a complete bibliography of the pre-1850 printed editions of Virgil.

(Worde, Wynkyn de) Moran, James WYNKYN DE WORDE: FATHER OF FLEET STREET.
New Castle DE Oak Knoll Press 2003 8vo. paper-covered boards, dust jacket 76 pages
Wynkyn de Worde was William Caxton's assistant, and, in about 1500, he was the first printer to set up his shop in London's Fleet Street, which was for centuries perhaps the world's most famous center of printing. He was not just a craftsman; his place in history is that of the first publisher to popularize the products of the printing press. His output was huge - more than 700 works over a period of forty years. He produced a great variety of books: children's books, short histories, poetry, romances, instructions for pilgrims, and works on good manners, marriage, household practice, medicines for horses, and husbandry. Wynkyn de Worde laid the foundations of commercial publishing in Britain.
For this revised third edition of James Moran's book, Lotte Hellinga and Mary Erier have provided a new introduction, which takes account of recent research, and also a detailed chronological bibliography of works on Wynkyn de Worde.
1 map, 9 black-and-white illustrations. Sales Rights: Available in North & South America from Oak Knoll Books. Available outside North & South America from The British Library.
