Un des plus beaux incunables inspirés par la mode des danses macabres de la fin du Moyen Âge, pour la première fois traduit et reproduit en fac-similé. Tous, bons et méchants, jeunes et vieux, chrétiens et mécréants, étaient attachés à la vie. Vienne la mort qui n'en épargne aucun, et les voilà mués en squelettes, entraînés dans une sarabande macabre. Cette danse des morts de la fin du XVe siècle, magnifiquement illustrée, est un des plus beaux livres suscités, au début de l'ère de l'imprimerie, par une mode qui touche alors toute l'Europe. Le texte allemand de l'original, traduit pour la première fois en français, est précédé d'une introduction qui place le phénomène de la danse macabre dans son contexte social et historique et reconstitue les grandes étapes de son essor international.

J.C.T. Oates began work at Cambridge University Library in 1936. During his long, scholarly career he did much to further research at the University Library. In 1954 he published this catalogue of the 15th-century printed books, which were not included in the main library catalogues. The catalogue lists over 4250 items, with detailed information for those not already described in other publications, & gives references to such information where it already existed. The 15th-century material is listed by place of publication, & is indexed by author, title if anonymous, printer, & former owners & autographs. Although modern catalogues of incunabula are now available online, Oates' catalogue is the only one allowing readers to locate items held by the Library from the earliest days of printing, & is still an important tool for researchers.

Between roughly 1350 and 1500, the English vernacular became established as a language of literary, bureaucratic, devotional and controversial writing; metropolitan artisans formed guilds for the production and sale of books for the first time; and Gutenberg's and eventually Caxton's printed books reached their first English consumers. This book gathers the best work on manuscript books in England made during this crucial but neglected period. Its authors survey existing research, gather intensive new evidence and develop new approaches to key topics. The chapters cover the material conditions and economy of the book trade; amateur production both lay and religious; the effects of censorship; and the impact on English book production of manuscripts and artisans from elsewhere in the British Isles and Europe. A wide-ranging and innovative series of essays, this volume is a major contribution to the history of the book in medieval England.
