Short description:
Who were the leading promoters of printing Anglo-Saxon in the Renaissance and why? In what manuscripts did Old English scholars find their print-design models? This book traces the history of printing Anglo-Saxon in its cultural context alongside developments in scholarship.
Long description:
This book offers something new, a full-length study of printing Anglo-Saxon (Old English) from 1566 to 1705, combining analysis of content and form of production. It starts from the end-product and addresses the practical issues of providing for printing Anglo-Saxon authentically, and why this was done. The book tells a story that is largely Cambridge-orientated until Oxford made an impact, largely thanks to Franciscus Junius from Leiden. There is a catalogue of all books containing Anglo-Saxon, with full details of their use of manuscript or printed sources. This information allows us to see how knowledge of Anglo-Saxon grew and developed.
