Cloth, 4to, 30 cm, xii, 291 pp, ills, facs., maps . The first substantial study of Yale's "Vinland Map" which was unveiled to considerable fanfare in 1965 but is now generally regarded as a fake. From the blurb: "Because evidence concerning the Viking discovery of North America in the tenth and eleventh centuries is so incomplete, investigation of this area of history will be substantially aided by the discovery of new documents. Such is the claim made for the previously unknown munuscripts here published for the first time. They are two documents copied about 1440 from much earlier originals, now lost. The first is an account of Friar John of Plano Carpini's mission to the Mongols in 1245-47. The second is a world map, including the western ocean, with delineations of Iceland, Greenland, and a land mass named Vinland which represents the North American mainland as known to the medieval Norsemen. This map is the earliest known and indisputable cartographic representation of any part of the Americas. Thomas E. Marston, Curator of Medieval and Renaissance Literature in the Yale University Library, describes the chance circumstances of the discovery of the two documents, which had become separated from a manuscript of Vincent de Beauvais into which they had been originally bound. Mr. Marston establishes the close association of the Vinland Map with the 'Tartar Relation" - the account of the Mongols. George D. Painter, Assistant Keeper of Printed Books in the British Museum, who has edited the Tartar account, also analyzes the relationship of the three elements of the original Beauvais manuscript and reconstructs its bibliographical history. R. A. Skelton, Superintendent of the Map Room of the British Museum, describes the Vinland Map and its geography in relation to its sources and analyzes its historical importance. As the editors show, the Tartar Relation provides information on Mongol history and legend not to be found in any known sources and a portion of the Map represents the only surviving medieval example based, on Norse cartography - a conclusion with far-reaching implications for the history of cartography and of the Viking visitations." Contents: The manuscript: history and description, by T. E. Marston; Facsimiles of the Vinland map and the Tartar relation; The Tartar relation, edited, with introd., translation and commentary, by G. D. Painter; The Vinland map, by R. A.

Cloth, 4to, 28 cm, xix, 256 pp, ills (some colour). From the blurb - "The Burlington Magazine has maintained a high, international reputation for publishing authoritative writing on all aspects of art history since its foundation in 1903 by a group of distinguished scholars headed by Roger Fry, Bernard Berenson and Herbert Horne. Now, in celebration of its centenary the eminent art historian Michael Levey has compiled this selection of some of the most significant articles, reviews, editorials and obituaries to appear in it under successive editors during the twentieth century. The choice conveys the Magazine's variety as well as its quality and indicates its concern with modern art, and art beyond Europe, in addition to traditional areas of study. The resulting anthology has its surprises and is both entertaining and informative." Very Good in Very Good dustwrapper.

Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, xiv, 306 pp, [16] pp of plates. From the blurb: "This engrossing biography of George IV, king between 1820 and 1830, provides a full and objective reassessment of the monarch's character, reputation and achievement. Previous writers have tended to accept the unfavourable verdicts of the king's contemporaries that he was a dissolute, pleasure-loving dilettante and a feeble and ineffective ruler responsible for the decline of the power and reputation of the monarchy in the early nineteenth century. Now E.A. Smith offers a new view of George IV - one that does not minimise the king's faults but focuses on the positive qualities of bis achievement in politics and in the patronage of the arts. Smith explores the roots of the king's character and personality, stressing the importance of his relationship with his parents and twelve surviving siblings. He examines George IVs important contributions to the cultural enhancement of his capital and encouragement of the major artistic, literary and scholarly figures of his time. He reassesses the king's role as constitutional monarch, contending that it was he, rather than Victoria and Albert, who created the constitutional monarchy of nineteenth-century Britain and began the revival of its popularity. Smith's biography not only illuminates the character of one of the most colourful of Britain's rulers but also contributes to the history of the British monarchy and its role in the nation's life."
