HELLINGA (Lotto)
Catalogue of Books Printed in the XVth Century now in the British Library. Part XI: England.
Folio, x,507,[1]pp., facsimiles throughout (some coloured), orig. cloth. The present volume is compiled by Lotte Hellinga with contributions by Paul Needham, Margaret Nickson and John Goldfinch. It includes descriptions of 323 copies of books, representing 221 editions of items printed in England, out of a total of 395 known to date, extensive introductions and 52 full-size plates accompanying the descriptions of printing types. Since the appearance in 1908 of the first volume of BMC the work has been relied on as one of the main authorities on the earliest printing in Europe. Its coverage of early printing from the European countries in which the new technique was successively introduced provides not only extensive bibliographical descriptions, but introduces the material with an analysis of the development of printing in the relevant areas. The guiding theme throughout the earlier volumes is the spread of printing in the fifteenth century as reflected in the British Museum Library's outstanding collection. England is the last volume to appear in this momentous series.
