«this handbook will definitely be the standard work on palaeography for a long time to come.»
Geoffrey D. Dunn, University of Pretoria, Journal of the Australian Early Medieval Association
«In keeping with Leonard Boyle's conception of "integral palaeography»
the idea that the study of paleography is not an isolated discipline but rather is intimately entang
«Splendid and immensely useful ... Latin Palaeography tackles the major types of script, material embodiment and techniques of manuscripts, their cultural setting, selected scriptoria and libraries, and varieties of book usage in sixty-three chapters penned by an international team of experts. I see that the book is already out of stock»
as sure a sign as any of the timeliness and need.Ivana Petrovic, Greece & Rome
«The Oxford Handbook of Latin Palaeography does exactly what it sets out to do, and more ... Written by an international "Who's Who" of Latin paleography, with smooth and expert translations from German, Italian, and French when necessary, the volume provides welcome introductions to Latin bookhands from late Antiquity to the Renaissance, with additional sections covering codicology, manuscript culture, and book history ... The Oxford Handbook of Latin Palaeography should quickly become a staple on bookshelves and in classrooms, and many of the essays will become instant classics.»
Lisa Fagin Davis, Manuscript Studies
«We must be grateful to the editors, Coulson and Babcock, for their courage in organising this handbook. This impressive work will be of great value, both as an indispensable handbook of Latin palaeography and as a necessary starting point for research in palaeography, codicology and the cultural history of the Latin Middle Ages.»
