Splendours of Japan : highlights from the Bodleian Library. Bodleian Library Publishing, 2025; ©2025. ISBN:1851245901; 9781851245901
The Bodleian Library houses one of the oldest institutional collections of Japanese rare books and manuscripts in Europe, dating back to the first half of the seventeenth century. Leading scholars and experts provide a tantalising glimpse into the collection's rich and multifaceted history, celebrating five centuries of collecting. Peter Kornicki investigates early encounters between England and Japan, explaining how Japanese books and manuscripts arrived in England from the archipelago in the seventeenth century. Melissa McCormick examines a narrative handscroll compared with other lavishly illuminated manuscripts, which she argues were produced for bridal dowry. Edward Kamens discusses deluxe poetry anthologies, which arrived at the Bodleian at the turn of the century. Marinita Stiglitz delves into the production and use of handmade paper, colour pigments and ink. Katja Triplett discusses the production of printed publications by the Jesuit Mission Press and Laura Moretti offers an overview of the thriving publishing market in Japan in the early modern and modern period. Among the stunning items are richly painted handscrolls, the first Japanese books to arrive at the Bodleian in the seventeenth century, and the oldest trade agreement between England and Japan. -- Publisher's website

The making of Shakespeare's First Folio / Emma Smith

Emma Smith. The making of Shakespeare's First Folio. Second edition, Bodleian Library Publishing, 2023; ©2023. ISBN:9781851245987; 1851245987
"A revised and updated edition of Shakespeare's First Folio that explains the significance of the iconic publication. The Making of Shakespeare's First Folio offers the first comprehensive biography of the earliest collected edition of Shakespeare's plays. In November 1623, the book arrived in the bookshop of the London publisher Edward Blount at the Black Bear. Long in the making, Master William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies-as the First Folio was then known-appeared seven years after Shakespeare's death. Nearly one thousand pages in length, the collection comprised thirty-six plays, half of which had never been previously published. Yet no fanfare surrounded the initial publication of Shakespeare's First Folio-no queue of eager readers, no launch to the top of the best-seller list. Nevertheless, it is hard to overstate the importance of this literary, cultural, and commercial moment. Emma Smith tells the story of the First Folio's origins, locating it within the social and political context of Jacobean London and bringing in the latest scholarship on the seventeenth-century book trade. Generously illustrated in color with key pages from the publication and comparative works, this new edition combines the 2016 discovery of a hitherto unknown edition of the First Folio at Mount Stuart House on the Isle of Bute with the human, artistic, economic and technical stories of the birth of this landmark publication-and the birth of Shakespeare's towering reputation"--Publisher's description

Libraries and books in medieval England : the role of libraries in a changing book economy / Richard Sharpeほか

Richard Sharpe; edited by James Willoughby. Libraries and books in medieval England : the role of libraries in a changing book economy. Bodleian Library Publishing, 2023; ©2023, The Lyell lectures ; 2018-19. ISBN:9781851246014; 1851246010
"Medieval England was full of books, many times the number that have survived. The great moment of loss was when the country's religious houses were suppressed by King Henry VIII and their libraries scattered and destroyed. Twentieth-century scholarship has been enterprising in establishing what survives and in discovering what libraries once held. To understand that evidence, and to be able to reconstruct the transmission of culture in the Middle Ages, we need to employ with care the evidence of the surviving books and what medieval library catalogues can tell us about these lost collections. 'Libraries and Books in Medieval England' paints a new picture of the circulation of books, from the totality of the available evidence. It seeks to move away from the modern conceptualization of the monastic library as the only venue for medieval book provision, and to broaden awareness of the wider book economy, including private ownership and the birth of the book trade. The result, by one of the country's leading experts and based on his Lyell Lectures in the University of Oxford, is an unparalleled work offering a new view of the field."--
