Book Description
The sixtieth volume of Studies in Bibliography continues its tradition of presenting a wide range of articles by international scholars on bibliography, textual criticism, and other aspects of the study of books. The volume opens with an article by magisterial bibliographer G. Thomas Tanselle that offers on his work on bibliographical description over forty years. Other articles range in topic from manuscripts of the medieval poet Malory and of a seventeenth-century nautical dictionary to the modernist architectural journal L'Architecture Vivante. In a tour de force of bibliographical analysis, one piece examines a play whose idiosyncratic printing stumped the eminent bibliographer W. W. Greg, while two others explore aspects of library history. One piece offers new insight into the personal collection of James Joyce, and the other identifies a sixteenth-century edition of Copernicus from the original library of the University of Virginia. The volume concludes with a supplement recording activities of the Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia since its fiftieth anniversary in 1997. The articles and their authors include: "Notes on Recent Work in Descriptive Bibliography," G. Thomas Tanselle; "Errors in the Malory Archetype: The Case of Vinaver's Wight and Balan's Curious Remark," Ralph Norris; "James Shirley's Triumph of Peace: Analyzing Greg's Nightmare," Stephen Tabor; "The Manuscripts of Sir Henry Mainwaring's Sea-Man's Dictionary," Amy Bowles; "The Jeffersonian Provenance of the University of Virginia Copy of Copernicus's De Revolutionibus: Addendum to Gingerich," Samuel V. Lemley; "Joyce's Ulysses Library," Tristan Power; "L'Architecture Vivante and Its Extraits," Daniel Lawler; "Supplement to The Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia: The First Fifty Years," Elizabeth K. Lynch and Anne G. Ribble.

Book Description
"This book offers a comprehensive guide to descriptive bibliography--the activity of describing books as physical objects. The function of descriptive bibliography is to provide detailed historical accounts of the varied material forms in which texts have been transmitted and to show the relationships among those examples that claim to carry texts of the same work. The first part of this book contains five essays on general topics: an introduction to the field and its history; its relation to library cataloguing; the concept of ideal copy; the meanings of edition, impression, issue, and state; and tolerances in reporting details. The second part covers more specific subjects: transcription and collation; format; paper; typography and layout; typesetting and presswork; non-letterpress material; publishers' bindings, endpapers, and jackets; and overall arrangement. At the end is an appendix containing a sample description with detailed commentary, followed by a record of the literature of descriptive bibliography"--
