Reconstructing a Medieval Library: Fragments from Lambach

First edition. Research into fragments of manuscripts held by Yale revealed that over 150 of them came from the same medieval library at Lambach, a Benedictine monastery located on the Traun River in Austria. This then led to a recreation of the ancient library that tracks its history from its beginning in around 1056 to the middle of the 16th century. Many illustrations in black and white. Presentation on half-title "For Mrs. Kraus with sincere gratitude from the Beinecke staff." 124, 2 pages. cloth. 8vo..
