General Books

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Excerpt from Fasti Monastici Aevi Saxonici, or an Alphabetical List of the Heads of Religious Houses in England, Previous to the Norman Conquest: To Which Is Prefixed a Chronological Catalogue of Contemporary FoundationsIt would have been superﬂuous for me to add a secondary series of references. Those I have given are in almost every case the only ones which point directly to original sources, and consequently the only available ones for the plan I proposed to myself. It will be noticed that I appear to have occasionally deviated more or less from strict alphabetical sequence but this has been unavoidable, as I wished, by a particular but simple method Of grouping similar names, to indicate the possibility, but by no means to assert the positive fact, of their relation to identical personages. It is well known that great allowances must be made for dialectic variation and the caprices of authors and scribes at such an unsettled period. The great number of later copies of such early documents as those contained in the works tabulated, exhibit numerous variations in the orthography of proper names and to have introduced these in every case would have swelled the size of the present work far beyond reasonable limits, while no corresponding advantage would have been gained. As it is, in the orthography of even contemporary documents a very wide diversity will be found to exist; for instance, on pages 22 - 25, upwards of fifteen variants of the true Saxon forms [elfsige or Eeelsige present themselves. It would have been impossible to bring before the eye the fact that Dugdale's Egelsine, abbot of St. Augustine's, Canterbury, was identical with zefielsige of the anglo-saxon Chronicle,' if I had tied myself down to strict adherence to the alphabetical system, as these names would have appeared in different portions of the List.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
