Taken together, these essays form a comprehensive treatise on the subject. Although this consolidated work signifi cantly 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 After all, a classic can never be entirely superseded, and the Principles will always be worth reading for many specifi c passages and for the attitude it displays: every detail is a refl ection of the view that descriptive bibliography is a form of historical scholarship. No one can come away from the book without understanding that descriptive bibliography is not just a guide to the identifi cation of fi rst editions (though it serves that purpose) but is rather a history of the production and publication of the books taken up and thus a contribution to the broader annals of printing and publishing. Nevertheless, any work from as long ago as 1949 is likely to require some adjustments, and my essays provide a rethinking and redefi nition of some basic concepts, particularly ideal copy, issue, state, and format. I have also proposed a simpler and more logical system for noting inserted leaves in collation formulas and have offered more detailed suggestions for describing paper, type, non-letterpress material, and publishers’ bindings. Two matters barely commented on by Bowers are given extensive discussion in two of my essays: the incorporation of the results of bibliographical analysis (that is, analysis of typesetting and presswork) into a descriptive bibliography, and the considerations involved in the overall organization of a bibliography (along with the numbering of its entries and the recording of copies examined). I have tried throughout to express, more fully than he did, the rationale lying behind the inclusion of every element in a description and the manner of presenting such features. (My detailed criticisms of certain proposals, both by him and by others, are meant to illustrate these rationales in practice.)","PeriodicalId":82836,"journal":{"name":"Studies in bibliography","volume":"448 1","pages":"1 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75809948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gingerich suggests that the volume “might be a replacement” for the original copy ordered by Thomas Jefferson, presumed lost in a fi re 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 destroyed by fi re in 1895, it is now impossible to know whether the copy is the original one or a replacement” (247). My ongoing investigation into historical shelf marks and original bindings extant in the University of Virginia library reveals that the recovery of the provenance of the Virginia Copernicus is far from impossible; in fact, Gingerich’s Census records some of the evidence useful in establishing its Jeffersonian origin. Jefferson’s manuscript desiderata for the university library confi rm that a copy of Copernicus’s De Revolutionibus was on order in 1825.1 This list also reveals that Jefferson did not specify an edition of the work, leaving the date and place of publication blank. We know, however, that a copy of the second edition of De Revolutionibus was added to the collection between 1825 and 1827, because it appears in the earliest printed catalogue of the library (1828).2 Presumably, this is the same copy recorded in a later manuscript catalogue, begun in 1857 and in use until about 1905.3 These three early lists and catalogues—Jefferson’s of 1825, the printed catalogue of 1828, and the manuscript catalogue of circa 1857—attest to the presence of a copy of Copernicus’s De Revolutionibus in the university library from its founding; the question is, was it the same copy held currently in the University of Virginia’s Special Collections Library?","PeriodicalId":82836,"journal":{"name":"Studies in bibliography","volume":"24 1","pages":"225 - 228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82093876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He presented several manuscript copies to his personal patrons and to high-ranking naval offi cials; 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) doe fully and wholy understand what belongs to their Profession: having onely some Scrambling Termes & Names belonging to some parts of a Ship’.1 The rise in ‘gentleman commanders’ – men appointed to naval positions due to their infl uence at court rather than any practical experience of seamanship – had long been an irritation to professional seamen.2 The Sea-mans Dictionary provided novices with defi nitions for around six hundred naval words and phrases, listed alphabetically, with an index of terms. The scribe employed by Mainwaring to copy his dictionary was Ralph (or Raph) Crane (fl . 1589–1632).3 Eight surviving manuscripts of the Parts and Things belonging to a Ship, including fi ve produced as presentation copies, were transcribed by Crane.4 A further twelve copies are extant, attesting to the dictionary’s wide","PeriodicalId":82836,"journal":{"name":"Studies in bibliography","volume":"143 1","pages":"213 - 224"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90366233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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 Vézelay 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 Gray, along with the publication of its most prominent result – the house at Cap-Martin known as E.1027 – both gave birth to and preserved one of the era’s residential masterpieces. Badovici published his fi rst book, Maisons de rapport de Charles Plumet, for Éditions Albert Morancé in early 1923.1 On the strength of this one book, Morancé’s friendly rival, Albert Levy, recruited Badovici to edit a revival of the review l’Architecte, which had ceased publication at the start of the fi rst World War. Badovici signed a contract on May 30th, promising the fi rst monthly issue for February 1924, as well as two books each year similar to the one on Plumet; suggested subjects included Plumet (again), Sauvage, Perret, Süe et Mare, and Dervaux. The contract, however, was voided the same day, as Levy balked at the cost of supporting both Badovici and Christian Zervos – Badovici’s friend, roommate, and fellow Morancé editor – as co-editors.

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 (fi g. 1): 1. By James Shirley, of Grayes Inne, Gent. 2. By James Shirley, Gent. 3. By James Shirley, of Grayes-Inne, The third Impression. 4. 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 characterize a copy. The normal hand-press taxonomy of edition, impression, issue, and state is inadequate to sort the copies into well-behaved families. As convoluted as The Triumph of Peace (henceforth “ToP ”) may be, part of the reason for bibliographers’ diffi culty in coming to grips with it was the unavailability, until the 1960s, of a technology that could supply quick and cheap reproductions of complete copies for thorough comparison. W. W. Greg, who came closer than anyone to understanding the book, died in 1959, the year the Xerox machine was introduced. (He would have had to wait another half-century for the silent invasion of library reading rooms by digital cameras and smartphones.) In 1946, he published a paper entitled “The Triumph of Peace: A Bibliographer’s Nightmare”.1 His chief purpose there was to point out inconsistencies in the account of the work by William Jackson and Emma Unger in the Pforzheimer catalogue published several years earlier.2 However, he concluded that “a fi nal solution will have to wait till a bibliographer equipped with the necessary skill and patience fi nds the leisure and the opportunity to make a thorough scrutiny of all available copies.”3 The descriptions of ToP that Greg published fi ve years later in his Bibliography of the English Printed Drama to the Restoration showed no further","PeriodicalId":82836,"journal":{"name":"Studies in bibliography","volume":"49 1","pages":"107 - 211"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86253348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rhodes, who collaborated with Stubbings, identifi ed the font as Wynkyn de Worde’s 95mm textura in its fi nal state, observing that the grotesque initial ‘I’ on the recto was found elsewhere in de Worde’s corpus. On the strength of this information, Stubbings concluded that the folio was printed by de Worde between 1521 and 1535. At the same time, he acknowledged that the fragments did not match any surviving de Worde book from the period. Six years later, Rhodes identifi ed the Emmanuel College text as a previously unrecorded English translation of La historia de Grisel y Mirabella, a late medieval Spanish romance by Juan de Flores ( fl. 1475).3 With translations and adaptations in French, German, Italian, and Polish (among other languages), Flores’s work became an international best-seller in the sixteenth century, marketed initially as","PeriodicalId":82836,"journal":{"name":"Studies in bibliography","volume":"13 1","pages":"113 - 85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91302966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
