Clarendon Press Studies on the Derveni Papyrus
Book SynopsisThe Derveni Papyrus was discovered earlier this century and is the oldest literary papyrus ever found. Studies on the Derveni Papyrus includes a full and reliable translation of the text, a range of articles by leading European and American classicists, and a complete bibliography. This will be the standard reference work on the subject for years to come.Trade ReviewEach of these essays is a notable contribution to our understanding of the papyrus. The volume as a whole marks an important milestone in the rather unfortunate history of the Derveni papyrus. * John A. Palmer, The Classical Review *Performs a great srvice ... It includes the first ever English translation of the whole papyrus ... The essays comprise a useful survey of scholarship on the papyrus. The standard of the contributions is high, and the book will be indispensable for further study. * Times Literary Supplement *Brings the papyrus firmly into mainstream ancient philosophy, to be taken seriously as a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual market-place of the time. * Phronesis *This extremely valuable book is highly recommended for scholars from a number of disciplines. This is the only book (so far) dedicated to the Derveni papyrus; otherwise, articles on the subject are scattered far and wide. For this reason, and because of the crucial importance of the papyrus, I have no hesitation in recommending this book. - Robin Waterfield-Heythrop Journal Vol.40 No.3 July 1999

Clarendon Press Printed CommonplaceBooks and the Structuring of Renaissance Thought
Book SynopsisThis text looks at printed commonplace-books and the structuring of Renaissance thought. It should be of interest to scholars and students of Renaissance literature, cultural history, rhetoric, theology and philosophy.Trade Reviewhighly stimulating ... very welcome. ... Moss analyses and compares many books which have barely been mentioned by previous scholars. ... With extraordinary bibliographical thoroughness and exemplary clarity Moss has produced an indispensable survey of the theory and practice of the printed commonplace-book. ... embellished with precious scholarly insights * Peter Mack, University of Warwick, Renaissance Studies, Vol 15, No 1 *she has produced a lively and learned history of Renaissance Europe's primary text-processing tool * Times Literary Supplement *This book provides us at last with a meticulously detailed account of the origins, flowering, and decline of the commonplace-book in early modern Europe. Ann Moss is always sensitive to confessional or pedogogical differences ... Ann Moss offers a generous supply of materials and possible leads which one may follow up according to one's preferences and priorities as a reader of the early modern. Whatever one's perspective ... no one who is seriously interested in early modern culture, the history of pedagogy, or the history of ideas can afford to neglect this major contribution. * Terence Cave, Rhetoria 15.3 *Not just a study of commonplace books but of though (Latin locus, Greek topos, English commonplace), of testimony of quotation, this is a magisterial work. It is impossible to reduce Moss's detailed survey to generalizations. L.E. Maguire. The Yearbook of English Studies 1999.Ann Moss provides a learned historical account of the rise and fall of the Renaissance commonplace book ... Moss has read and analyzed a very large number of original sources from the Middle Ages through the seventeenth century ... this is an excellent book: it will become required reading for anyone interested in rhetoric, Latin education, and the broader intellectual world of northern Europe during the Renaissance. * Paul F. Grendler, Renaissance Quarterly *

Crown Old Books Rare Friends Two Literary Sleuths and Their Shared Passion
Book SynopsisLouisa May Alcott once wrote that she had taken her pen for a bridegroom. Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine Stern, friends and business partners for fifty years, have in many ways taken up their pens and passion for literature much in the same way. The 'Holmes & Watson' of the rare book business, Rostenberg and Stern are renowned for unlocking the hidden secret of Louisa May Alcott's life when they discovered her pseudonym, A.M. Barnard, along with her anonymously published 'blood and thunder' stories on subjects like transvestitism, hashish smoking, and feminism.Old Books, Rare Friends describes their mutual passion for books and literary sleuthing as they take us on their earliest European book buying jaunts. Using what they call Finger-spitzengefühl, the art of evaluating antiquarian books by handling, experience, and instinct, we are treated to some of their greatest discoveries amid the mildewed basements of London's booksellers after the Blitz.
