John Bale (Author), Reginald Lane Poole (Editor), Caroline Brett James Carley (Editor)

Out of Print--Limited Availability.

Book Description

Publication Date: September 6, 1990

The Index Britanniae Scriptorum, in which Bale zealously collected materials at a date when materials were accessible which in a few years more were scattered and largely lost, is invaluable to students and editors of medieval texts, and current renewed interest in 16th- (and 17th-) century antiquarian scholarship makes Bale's work much consulted nowadays. It has, however, been long unobtainable outside Rare Books rooms of university libraries, and its reappearance here, with a new introduction by James Carley, will be widely welcomed by medievalists.
