Excerpt from Catalogue of Romances in the Department of Manuscripts in the British Museum, Vol. 1 IN the present Catalogue it is proposed to give a precise account of the ms. Sources of Romance in the British Museum. Its scope is not limited to a description of those works which by their connection with the various cycles or by their own con struction can claim the title of Romances, but it also embraces a larger class of literature which more or less directly has to do with the subject. It is thus that, on the one hand, such large works as Geoffrey of Monmouth's History, and, on the other, such small pieces as isolated ballads or tales are included. Taking into account also the bibliographical and literary information with which the descriptions are accompanied, and the critical analysis to which the different texts have been submitted, it is hoped that the Catalogue may serve not only as a guide to the Museum collection, but also, to some extent, as a handbook to the subject.

Excerpt from Catalogue of Romances in the Department of Manuscripts in the British Museum, Vol. 3 The first two volumes of this Catalogue of Romances, issued in 1883 and 1893 respectively, were compiled by the late Mr. H. L. D. Ward. In the final revision of Vol. II. he was assisted by Mr. J. A. Herbert, who is now solely responsible for Vol. III., though in many cases he has been able to make use of Mr. Ward's preparatory notes. This volume includes no separate romances of any length, such as are to be found in its predecessors, but deals with the popular collections of Exempla, or short stories used for illustration by mediaeval preachers, and of similar tales, moralized or otherwise, both in prose and verse. Among them are the well-known works of Jacques de Vitry, Odo of Cheriton, Etienne de Bourbon and Robert Holcot, the Gesta Romanorum, William of Waddington's Manuel des Peches, Robert Manning's Handlyng Synne and the Dialogus Miraculorum of Caesarius of Heisterbach. A fourth volume, completing the Catalogue, will include Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and their precursors in Boccaccio's Decameron and elsewhere, and romances by Petrarch, Aeneas Sylvius and others, together with an Appendix containing Mss. acquired since the publication of the previous volumes or inadvertently omitted from them. A General Index to all four volumes will also be added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"Illuminated manuscripts are perhaps the most beautiful treasures to survive from the middle ages. This authoritative volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the medieval world of books, their production and their consumption. The text divides this world into different groups of readers and writers: missionaries, emperors, monks, students, aristocrats, priests, collectors and the general public. De Hamel is both informative and immensely readable, and the sumptuous illustrations render this book too good to be missed."--From Amazon.com
