Description
Book SynopsisThe Trevelyon Miscellany of 1608 is one of the Folger Shakespeare Library's greatest treasures. This book features the facsimile of the entire manuscript to celebrate Folger Shakespeare Library's 75th anniversary in 2007.
Trade ReviewThe Trevelyon Miscellany, a vivid and imposing witness itself, complete apart from a few missing leaves, is a ready guide . . . . the largest collection of the words and images that meant most, not to an ideal, but an average Elizabethan, all the more important because in no way exceptional. Thomas Trevilian is only remarkable for the extraordinary pertinacity with which he pursued and got all the graphic images around him and the single-minded devotion that he bestowed on copying them, together with appropriate words. As a window on his mind, rather than on the events around him, however, it is ideal.
