Description

Review "This is a rewarding and important book".David McKitterick, Trinity College, Cambridge. In: Library & Information History, Vol. 33, No. 2 (2017), pp. 145-146."Pettegree's introduction, 'The Legion of the Lost' is a full-length essay discussing not only how books become lost but how one can know about what has been lost. It is accessible and engaging and would be a worthy reading assignment for undergraduates or masters students studying book history."Iona Hine, The University of Sheffield. Reviewed for Linguistic DNA [10 January 2017]. Product Description Questions of survival and loss bedevil the study of early printed books. Many early publications are not particularly rare, but many have disappeared altogether. Here leading specialists in the field explore different strategies for recovering this lost world of print. About the Author Flavia Bruni is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Rome La Sapienza and a Honorary Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews. She is responsible for the survey of seventeenthcentury Italian editions for the Universal Short Title Catalogue and currently working on her second monograph on censorship in Counter-Reformation Italy (forthcoming Brill, 2017). Andrew Pettegree is Professor of Modern History at the University of St Andrews and Director of the Universal Short Title Catalogue. He is the author of over a dozen books in the fields of Reformation history and the history of communication. His new projects include a study of Newspaper Advertising in the Low Countries and 'Preserving the World's Rarest Books', a collaborative project with libraries funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
