Sobre este artículo
Oxford: At the Clarendon Press, 1981 One of 1,000 copies. Full red cloth with gilt-decorated front cover and spine. Top edge gilt. . Large octavo. Nine full-page and two half-page color illustrations, plus numerous black and white photographic reproductions. Printed on heavy cream-colored paper at the Oxford University Press A fine copy in natural linen slipcase. Slipcase a bit soiled This is a detailed analysis of the making of the Winchester Bibles, two of the great twelfth century English illuminated Bibles. The author (1903–1987), who was a schoolmaster and eventually vice-chancellor of Oxford University, examined these Bibles closely over a period of forty-seven years. His earlier work, The Artists of the Winchester Bible (1945), was regarded as a pioneering effort, and both works are "authoritative and influential" (DNB).

Sobre Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB
Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
