At Heathfield the collection includes books on classical scholarship, and works on agriculture, household management, carriers' timetables, heraldry and English literature.[Michael Perkin] has enlarged the scope of the original work significantly, and brought to fruition a study which will be the standard reference point on parochial libraries for many years to come."

Ker, Neil [Ripley], Editor. Perkin, Michael [Roger], Editor. A Directory of the Parochial Libraries of the Church of England and the Church in Wales. London: Bibliographical Society, 2004. Revised edition. 490 pp. Illustrations. Publisher's blue cloth with gilt stamped spine. Near fine. Internally clean. $15. * Because of the un…authorized sale, loss, or deteriorating condition of parochial libraries in the 1930s and 1940s, a postal survey of surviving collections was undertaken which resulted in a detailed report and directory finally published under the general editorship of Neil Ker. This book is a thorough revision of that work and incorporates much of its apparatus while reflecting new discoveries and recent research. The Directory in particular has been greatly expanded to include libraries established up to c. 1900, and, especially, a broad sample of what have come to be known as desk-libraries, with one or more pre-1700 prescribed books. Many of the reports, documents, and tables, including the historical introduction, have been reprinted in this new edition, edited and modified to take account of new developments and findings. A Postscript, 2000 briefly outlines research in this field over the last 50 years or so, and there are a number of new lists and tables, one including statistical information.

Original cloth. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Octavo (219 x 138mm), pp. [2 (blank l.)], xviii, 222, [1 (imprint)], [1 (blank)], 8 (Early English Text Society titles). Half-tone frontispiece printed recto-and-verso with facsimiles. Original brown cloth, upper board lettered and with Early English Text Society device in gilt…within blind-ruled frame, spine lettered and ruled in gilt, lower board with blind-ruled frame. (Extremities lightly rubbed and bumped, some very faint marking.) Provenance: price on half-title neatly cancelled in ink by [?]bookseller -- later ownership signature on front free endpaper. First edition, one of 3,000 copies. The Ancrene Wisse (or Ancrene Riwle, MS Corpus Christi College Cambridge 402) attracted Tolkien's study throughout his career (cf. Hammond and Anderson, B12). In 1929 -- some years after starting work on the subject and three years after he took up his professorship in Oxford -- Tolkien published an article on the subject, which his biographer described thus: 'Tolkien never lost his literary soul. [. . .] He brought to [. . .] his subject a grace of expression and a sense of the larger significance of the matter. Nowhere is this demonstrated to better advantage than in his article (published in 1929) on the Ancrene Wisse, a medieval book of instruction for a group of anchorites, which probably originated in the West Midlands. By a remarkable and subtle piece of scholarship, Tolkien showed that the language of two important manuscripts [. . .] was no mere unpolished dialect, but a literary language, with an unbroken literary tradition going back to before the Conquest' -- the so-called 'AB language' of the West Midlands (Humphrey Carpenter, Tolkien: A Biography (London, 1977), p. 134). Ancrene Wisse, Tolkien's edition of the source manuscript, MS Corpus Christi College Cambridge 402, was even longer in the making than 'Ancrene Wisse and Hali Meiðhad' (1929), his seminal article on the subject. Tolkien is known to have mentioned the edition in correspondence as far back as 1936, and in a letter to Stanley Unwin of March 1945, he described the book as 'all typed out' -- probably, as Hammond and Anderson conjecture, only referring to the MS text proper. In 1952 Tolkien called this his 'overdue professional work, which he was attempting to finish in the midst of other writing and with The Lord of the Rings, soon to be published, distracting his attention'. The years passed until 'Robert Burchfield, [. . .] the editorial secretary of the [Early English Text Society], "gently bullied" Tolkien until the typescript was submitted -- which, in the event, was not merely a typescript, but included initial letters elegantly drawn by Tolkien. [. . .] A printers' strike prevented proofs from being sent to Tolkien until June 1960, when he was "in full tide of composition for the Silmarillion, and had lost the threads of the M[iddle] E[nglish] work" (letter to Rayner Unwin, 31 July 1960)' (Hammond and Anderson). Further delays meant that Tolkien likely did not correct the final proofs until January 1962, and on '19 December 1962, in a letter to his son Michael, he reported that "my Ancrene Wisse . . . got between covers this week at last"' (loc. cit.). Thus, entirely inadvertently, Ancrene Wisse was one of Tolkien's few academic publication after 1940. W.G. Hammond and D.A. Anderson, J.R.R. Tolkien, B25.

Hardback. Condición: New. Illustrated. The four volumes of Neil Ker's Medieval Manuscripts in British Libraries were published by Oxford University Press between 1969 and 1992. They comprise a catalogue of about 3,000 manuscripts in Latin and Western European vernaculars in hitherto uncatalogued or inadequately catalogued instit…utional collections in the United Kingdom and form a major research tool for humanist scholars. The index volume, produced under the direction of A. G. Watson, a former pupil of Ker's and now his literary executor, and I. C. Cunningham, formerly Keeper of Manuscripts in the National Library of Scotland, provides a variety of indexes, including authors/titles; owners; geographical origins and dates of manuscripts; vernacular manuscripts; Latin and vernacular incipits; manuscripts cited; repertories cited; and iconography. There are also lists of recent accessions to libraries and of manuscripts that have migrated from one institution to another.
