This book is a study of three important late medieval collections of saints' lives. The manuscripts, written in Latin and, for the most part, relating to the lives of Irish saints, have never before been subject to critical examination. Sharpe's pioneering analysis examines such questions as when and where the lives were compiled, and from what sources they derive. Sharpe sets his own treatment of the collections within the wider context of Irish hagiographical studies.

A history of books in medieval England, including libraries, private ownership, and the birth of the book trade. &nbsp; Medieval England was full of books, but when the country's monasteries were suppressed by King Henry VIII their libraries were scattered and lost. Twentieth-century historians have long worked to discover what those libraries once held. This volume, by the country's leading expert in the field, paints a new picture of the history of books and libraries in medieval England from an impressive array of available evidence. To reconstruct the transmission of culture in the Middle Ages, scholars need to understand and employ with care the evidence of both surviving books and medieval library catalogs. Libraries and Books in Medieval England seeks to move away from the modern conceptualization of the monastic library as the only venue for medieval book provision, broadening awareness of the wider book economy, including private ownership and the birth of the book trade. The result, based on author Richard Sharpe's Lyell Lectures at the University of Oxford, is a work that offers an unparalleled view of the field.

A monumental catalogue of all hitherto identified British and Irish authors of Latin works between the 5th century and the beginning of the English Renaissance. British and Irish writers who spent their careers on the continent of Europe, continental writers whose careers brought them to Britain or Ireland, and writers who worked under Anglo-Norman rulers in France all find their place. Comprising well over 2,000 entries, the Handlist embraces virtually every kind of writing, including theological, philosophical, scientific, political, and historical works, poems, grammatical treatises, and letters of a literary kind. The emphasis is bibliographical rather than biographical, and the aim is to enable the reader easily to discover what an author wrote and where copies may be found. Certain to become an indispensable research tool.
