About This Item
Knopf, Stated,First Edition, First Printing, 1965. Knopf, Stated,First Edition, First Printing. Red cloth over board, gold lettering. Research on Manuscript and old documents, and ephemera, book about books. " This fascinating volume on archaeological treasure-trove deals not with potsherds and bones, but with the archaeology of writing manuscripts produced before printing was known to the Western world. A scholar steeped in his subject, the author tells of mss. written on papyrus and clay, on stone and parchment, found buried in lost cities, moldering in libraries, lost in ancient rubbish heaps, wound around mummies of crocodiles. With equal enthusiasm he writes of the scholars -- and scamps-- who discovered and deciphered these treasures. Knopf, Stated,First Edition, First Printing, 1965.
