Sotheby's sold portions of the spectacular library of English collector John Roland Abbey (1894-1969) while he was still alive and other portions following his death. These catalogues of the sales include descriptions of lots 695 - 2904 and numerous photographic illustrations--some in color, some folding. The exteriors of this set show minor soiling and minor to moderate wear. The cover is cracking a little at the upper front joint of volume 2 and has split at the lower back joint of volume 7.

New York The Bibliographical Society of America 1990 8vo. cloth. 254 pages.
The history of the book trade in Medieval London before the age of print has long remained a matter of speculation. Few records survive that name the book artisans and entrepreneurs involved with this early trade venture or that document directly their methods of producing books and creating markets for them. In this directory, C. Paul Christianson assembles an extensive body of alternative data drawn from archival documents that identifies 262 participants in the London trade during a period of 200 years. This group includes stationers, manuscript artisans (called limners), textwriters, bookbinders, parchment sellers, and other London citizens active in book production and sale. This book provides a summary of information about the independent book craftsman working in London during this period. Four appendices contain indexes, and two maps, one modern and one from the sixteenth century, illustrate the historical area of the craft community around St. Paul's. Manuscripts and books cited are also listed. Designed by Abe Lerner. Distributed for the Bibliographical Society of America.

See More... Greentree, Rosemary THE MIDDLE ENGLISH LYRIC AND SHORT POEM.
(Woodbridge) D.S. Brewer (2001) 8vo. cloth, paper cover label. 400 pages
First edition. The Middle English lyrics and short poems form a varied group that ranges over most aspects of life to include lyrics of religious and secular love, carols and songs, and mundane rhymes of everyday life. Thus there are expressions of devotion, ethereal or earthly, theological expositions, and knowledge needed for life. The poems are disparate and generally anonymous, and their survival owes much to chance. The bibliography assembles neutral annotation of collections and criticism of the works, arranged chronologically to show the course of criticism and the growing appreciation of these poems and all they can tell us. The introduction considers these matters, problems of definition of the genre, and the isolable lyrics, and seeks to reconcile some first impressions of the poems, as disparate and slight, with the rewards of close study.

(Mansfield Centre, CT Martino Publishing 2003) 8vo. cloth lvi, 577+(1) pages
A reprint of the edition originally published in London by Longmans, Green, 1891. This bibliography meticulously describes 360 14th- and 15th-century printed books of hours from the dioceses of Sarum and York, as well as related books and primers of the reformed Roman usage (Besterman 3579). The editor provides a concise list of Horae or Primers, summaries of their contents, and indexes to all the above, as well as lists of printers, booksellers, and places. 'Horae' are manuscripts or printed collections of prayers for private devotional use at the canonical offices of the Roman Catholic Church. The majority of printed horae are from the years between 1490 and 1520, with Paris as the most active area. Quite rare.
