About this book
Sketches of bookworms, collectors, Bible students, scribes and illuminators fill this study of book-loving in the Middle Ages, which runs from Anglo-Saxon and Norman times to the arrival of printing in England. F. Somner Merryweather adds anecdotes from the monastic book collections of Great Britain. The New York edition has an introduction by Charles Orr, who says the work was among the earliest in English to treat the period fairly, rather than as the Dark Ages. It runs to thirteen chapters and an index.
