This book offers something new, a full-length study of printing Anglo-Saxon (Old English) from 1566 to 1705, combining analysis of content and form of production. It starts from the end-product and addresses the practical issues of providing for printing Anglo-Saxon authentically, and why this was done. The book tells a story that is largely Cambridge-orientated until Oxford made an impact, largely thanks to Franciscus Junius from Leiden. There is a catalogue of all books containing Anglo-Saxon, with full details of their use of manuscript or printed sources. This information allows us to see how knowledge of Anglo-Saxon grew and developed.
Peter J. Lucas, M.A. (Oxford), Ph.D. (1973, Leeds University) presently Honorary Research Associate at the University of Cambridge, is Emeritus Professor of Old and Middle English (University College Dublin). His publications include Exodus (Liverpool, 2020), and numerous studies on medieval English, medieval manuscripts, and early printing.
