Abstract: During a forty-year period, from 1966 through 2006, I published a series of essays covering every aspect of descriptive bibliography. Taken together, these essays form a comprehensive treatise on the subject. Although this consolidated work significantly revises Fredson Bowers's Principles of Bibliographical Description (1949) and stands on its own, I regard it not simply as a replacement for the Principles but as a companion piece to that book. After all, a classic can never be entirely superseded, and the Principles will always be worth reading for many specific passages and for the attitude it displays: every detail is a reflection of the view that descriptive bibliography is a form of historical scholarship. No ... Read More

Abstract: The text of Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur is based upon two authoritative witnesses: the Winchester Manuscript and the incunable printed by William Caxton in 1485.1 Scholarship, primarily by Eugène Vinaver, has established beyond reasonable doubt that the two versions descend from a common archetype rather than one from the other and that the archetype was not Malory's own autograph.2 This situation allows textual scholars to reconstruct more of Malory's exact words from the errors and interference that are an inescapable part of the transmission of medieval romance than would otherwise be possible.3 Not only does each witness allow for a check upon the other, but in conjunction with Malory's sources they can ...

Abstract: The surviving exemplars of James Shirley's Triumph of Peace (London, 1633/4) have defeated the attempts of generations of bibliographers to classify them. Any two copies are likely to show some pages with identical typesettings, some with partly different settings, and some entirely different. The title page comes in four variants of authorship and edition statements (fig. 1):By James Shirley, of Grayes Inne, Gent.By James Shirley, Gent.By James Shirley, of Grayes-Inne, The third Impression.By James Shirley, of Grayes-Inne, Gent. The third Impression.These states have an obscure connection with the text pages that follow, whose dozens of permutations require one to specify the state of each page in order to fully ...

Abstract: In the early 1620s, the naval commander and newly appointed Lieutenant of Dover Castle Sir Henry Mainwaring (or Manwayring, 1586/7-1653) compiled a detailed dictionary of nautical terms titled A Brief Abstract, Exposition and Demonstration of all Parts & Things belonging to a Ship, and the Practique of Nauigation. He presented several manuscript copies to his personal patrons and to high-ranking naval officials; the dictionary only found its way into print in 1644, as The Sea-mans Dictionary: or, an Exposition and Demonstration of all the Parts and Things belonging to a Shippe (London, G. M. for John Bellamy). In his preface, Mainwaring expressed his concern that 'very few Gentlemen (though they be called Sea-men) ... Read More

Abstract: In his 2002 book An Annotated Census of Copernicus' De Revolutionibus (Nuremberg, 1543 and Basel, 1566), Owen Gingerich concludes that the provenance of the University of Virginia's copy—the second edition, printed in Basel in 1566—is indeterminate. Gingerich suggests that the volume "might be a replacement" for the original copy ordered by Thomas Jefferson, presumed lost in a fire that destroyed much of the university's library in the Rotunda on October 27, 1895 (351). In a subsequent account, The Book Nobody Read: Chasing the Revolutions of Nicolaus Copernicus (2004), Gingerich revisits the provenance of the Virginia Copernicus and reaches a similar verdict: "Because many of the volumes of the library were ...

Abstract: There is a great amount of evidence for the books read by Joyce from 1914 to 1922 while he was writing Ulysses, but it has not been given the full attention that it deserves.1 Six hundred items survive in the Nelly Joyce collection, almost all of which are genuine works belonging to Joyce from his Trieste library.2 Besides these, ninety further titles have been obtained from the external evidence of Joyce's shelf inventory and bookstore bills during this period, but estimates of the library suggest that it contained at least another five hundred books, which have left few if any documentary traces that are external to the novel itself.3 Book lists in his Ulysses notebooks have also thrown light on his reading ...

Abstract: Jean Badovici, a Romanian by birth, studied architecture in Paris at the École des Beaux Arts and the École Spéciale d'Architecture, where he earned his degree in 1919. His subsequent architectural practice consisted largely in his participation in the post-WWII reconstruction of several towns in northeast France, and a minor role in his earlier collaboration on his own houses in Vezelay and Cap-Martin with his then-lover, the Irish designer Eileen Gray. But it was as an editor and author, in books and periodicals throughout the 1920s and 30s, that he played a pivotal role in the documentation and dissemination of the international architectural avant-garde. And the informal architectural education he provided ... Read More

Abstract: The publication of volume 60 of Studies in Bibliography provides an appropriate occasion for bringing up to date the record of the Society's activities that appeared in its fiftieth-anniversary history in 1998 (item 1998.2 below). While the nature of the sections is self-evident, the essays that accompany the original listing provide useful context for understanding the undertakings and accomplishments identified here. The first four essays in the book were also published in SB 50 (1997), 1-212.51 (1998). David L. Vander Meulen, Editor; Elizabeth K. Lynch, Assistant to the Editor. Ch: For BSUVa by UPVa, 1997.
