Antiquarian Books.

Something about Antiquarian Books, that transcends their status as one of the world’s most beloved collectibles. Books document the evolution of our need to make sense of the world around us. The Chinese inventor Bi Sheng made movable type of earthenware in about 1045, but there are no known surviving examples of his printing. Around 1450,in Europe,  in what is commonly regarded as an independent invention,  Johannes Gutenberg invented movable type in Europe, along with innovations in casting the type based on a matrix and hand mould. This invention gradually made books less expensive to produce, and more widely available.

Early printed books, single sheets and images which were created before 1501 in Europe are known as Incunabula.  "A man born in 1453, the year of the fall of Constantinople, could look back from his fiftieth year on a lifetime in which about eight million books had been printed, more perhaps than all the scribes of Europe had produced since Constantine founded his city in A.D. 330." Paper-making has traditionally been traced to China about AD 105, when  Cai Lun, an official attached to the Imperial court during the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD), created a sheet of paper using  Mulberry and other bast fibres along with  fishnets,  old rags, and hempwaste.

While paper used for wrapping and padding was used in China since the 2nd century BC,paper used as a writing medium only became widespread by the 3rd century. By the 6th century in China, sheets of paper were beginning to be used for toilet paper as well. During the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD) paper was folded and sewn into square  bags to preserve the flavor of tea. The Song Dynasty  (960–1279) that followed was the first government to issue Paper Currency.  

An important development was the mechanization of paper manufacture by Medievel papermakers. The introduction of water-powered paper mills, the first certain evidence of which dates to 1282, allowed for a massive expansion of production and replaced the laborious handcraft characteristic of both Chinese and Muslim  Paper making. Paper making centers began to multiply in the late 13th century in Italy, reducing the price of paper to one sixth of Parchment and then falling further.The importance of Printing can be seen in the first Gutenberg bible of 1455; the ‘First Folio’ of plays by William Shakespeare, published in 1623; John James Audubon’s monumental “Birds of America,” which was printed between 1827 and 1838; 

Whatever the genre—be it Latin Bible or English Bibles ;-  or classic works of  Poetry—and regardless of the title, most collectors focus on 1st. Editions.  First editions are coveted because their print runs tend to be small. They're also considered to be the closest a reader can get to the author’s original intent for his or her work. Thus, first editions are particularly desirable if a book has been changed for the second printing. Especially collectible are first editions of books that went on to win literary awards. The landmark children’s book “Where the Wild Things Are” earned author and illustrator Maurice Sendak a Caldecott Medal in 1964, so its first-edition cover from 1963 does not feature the famous Caldecott seal.Some people collect books for their aesthetic value. For these collectors, antiquarian and vintage Books and sets are particular favorites. Some are covered in calf skin, which book binders found easy to dye. Others were made of Levant leather, which is goat skin and sometimes called Moroccan leather.In all cases, a book that has been signed by its author is more sought-after than one that has not, although books with inscriptions (eg: ‘To my dear friend, so-and-so’) are usually not as collectible as ones with just a signature. Biographies and memoirs are a favorite of former politicians and retired generals, who have been known to use the bully pulpit of a book to tell their version of history. Such books can often be found with the author’s signature on the title page.

Lot Description THE BOOK OF JOHN MANDEVILLE, or, Sir John Mandeville's Travels, in Middle English, ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM

[?London, c.1440]
220 x 145mm. 64ff: 17+1, 2-78, 88(of 10), catchwords on final versos, original text and gatherings COMPLETE, 31-32 lines of cursive anglicana written in brown ink, contemporary sidenotes and nota marks in red in the first four leaves, later sidenotes and nota marks in various hands from f.34v to end, opening illuminated initial with ivy-leaf sprays into margins and 17 blue initials with extensive red penwork flourishing, three contemporary or near contemporary marginal drawings, one with colour wash, manicula in margins of ff.3, 24v, 57, marginal annotations in several hands of the 15th to 17th centuries (cropping affecting sprays of opening illuminated intitial and some side notes, staining and darkening, mainly to margins and not affecting legibility, cut near gutter in lower half of f.9). English 18th-century mottled calf gilt (joints split, some abrasion to covers and extremities rubbed).

THE 'LOST' MANUSCRIPT OF THE MOST POPULAR MEDIEVAL TRAVEL BOOK

PROVENANCE:
1. Beneath the end of the text on the penultimate recto is written 'q[uo]d berstede'. This seems most likely to be the scribe's name and his family may have originated in Berstead in Kent.
2. John Theyer (1597-1673), antiquary: his monogram followed by the figure 5 and foliation foj in his hand on f.1. Theyer bequeathed his collection of 800 manuscripts to his grandson Charles who tried, but failed, to sell them to Oxford University. The manuscripts were then purchased by the London bookseller Robert Scott who sold 312 volumes to Charles II; these are now Royal manuscripts of the British Library.
3. John Barwick of Charing: his inscription is written in a 19th-century hand on the front endleaf. It is likely that this was the Reverend John Barwick who was vicar of Charing from 1799.
4. Walter Sneyd (1809-1888); his armorial bookplate pasted inside upper cover and his sale Sotheby's 16 December 1903, lot 495.
5. Sir Thomas Brooke 1st Baronet of Armitage Bridge (1830-1908): his armorial bookplate on front endpaper. Although his large and important collection is best known for the 170 volumes from the library of the Pillone family, with fore-edge paintings by Cesare Vecellio, it was of even greater significance for the wide range of manuscripts it contained.

6. Sir John Arthur Brooke: his sale Sotheby's 25 May 1921, lot 921.
7. Sir R. Leicester Harmsworth: his sale Sotheby's 15 October 1945, lot 2023.

CONTENT:
The Book of John Mandeville, in Middle English ff.1-65; Biblical quotations in Middle English, a near contemporary addition, ff.65v-66v apparently defective at end.

Purporting to be the account by a knight from St Albans of his journey to the Holy Land and beyond, The Book of John Mandeville, or the Travels of Sir John Mandeville as it was later known, was originally written in French in the middle of the 14th century. The immediacy of its style and the colourful and exotic information it offered led to a speedy, widespread and enduring popularity: within fifty years The Book was circulating on both sides of the Channel and was known in eight languages. Its appeal persisted -- it was consulted by Columbus and Raleigh, and Dr Johnson praised it for its 'force of thought and beauty of expression': T. Kohanski & C.D. Benson, The Book of John Mandeville, 2007.

The Book was, in fact, a compilation made from multiple sources -- around 30 have been identified -- of which the principal are William of Bodensee's Liber de quibusdam ultramarinis partibus of 1336 and Oderic of Pordenone's Relatio of 1330: the first a narrative of the author's pilgrimage to Egypt and the Holy Land, and the second an account of the wonders seen during the friar's decade-long mission to India and China. Both of these works were translated into French in 1351 by Jean le Long of Ypres, monk of St Bertin at Saint Omer, and these were the versions drawn upon for The Book: I.M. Higgins, Writing East: the 'Travels' of Sir John Mandeville, 1997. Higgins characterises The Book as a 'compelling account of matters pious and profane, historical and scientific, mundane and marvellous'.

The earliest version of Mandeville's Travels to circulate in England was written in Anglo-French. Its first translation into Middle English appears to have been made from a copy that was lacking the second gathering containing part of the description of Egypt. This Middle English version, often referred to as the 'Defective Version' because of the missing section, became the dominant form of the Travels in England: The Defective Version of Mandeville's Travels, ed. M.C. Seymour, The Early English Text Society, 2002. This 'Defective Version' has been deemed worthy of 'a place with the English poetic masterpieces that were soon to follow ... especially The Canterbury Tales and Piers Plowman' (Kohanski and Benson, 2007). It was the basis for the first printed text of The Book in English (published by Richard Pynson in 1496: ed. T. Kohanski, 2001), and of every other English edition until 1725.

The present manuscript belongs to this Middle English version and the continued interest that this copy held for readers is shown by marginal annotations in hands of the 15th to 17th centuries. These range from simple side notes and manicula to small drawings illustrating something mentioned in the text: a chalice with a serpent in coloured wash to accompany the mention of John the Evangelist on f.7; a pendrawn dragon's head to accompany the mention of Ypocras's daughter in the shape of a dragon on the Isle of Lango (Cos) on f.7v; a bull's head in pen and wash to accompany mention of the ox worshipped in Polombe (Quilon) on the Malabar coast on f.36v.

Seymour lists 33 surviving manuscripts of the 'Defective Version', including the present manuscript. He knew it only from the 1945 catalogue entry and could offer no further analysis than the likelihood that it belonged to one of his subgroups 3, 4 or 5. The 'Egypt gap' is found here on f.11 but there is no precise correspondence with any of Seymour's subdivisions within the 'Defective Version': the date of composition given on f.2 is 1300, as 'subgroups' 3, 4 or 5, but unlike them the text preserves both the Hebrew (f.24) and Saracen (f.31v) alphabets, albeit corrupted. This manuscript provides an exceptional opportunity for new research into the transmission of the Middle English text.

ONE OF ONLY TWO COPIES OF THIS MIDDLE ENGLISH VERSION TO REMAIN IN PRIVATE HANDS (Seymour).

Book collecting.

Book collecting is the collecting of books, including seeking, locating, acquiring, organizing, cataloging, displaying, storing, and maintaining whatever books are of interest to a given individual collector. The love of books is bibliophilia, and someone who loves to read, admire, and collect books is a bibliophile.

Bibliophile book collecting is distinct from casual book ownership and the accumulation of books for reading. It can probably be said to have begun with the collections of illuminated manuscripts, both commissioned and second-hand, by the elites of Burgundy and France in particular, which became common in the 15th century.[citation needed] Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy appears to have had the largest private collection of his day, with about six hundred volumes. With the advent of printing with movable type books became considerably cheaper, and book collecting received a particular impetus in England and elsewhere during the Reformation when many monastic libraries were broken up, and their contents often destroyed. There was an English antiquarian reaction to Henry VIII's dissolution of the Monasteries. The commissioners of Edward VI plundered and stripped university, college, and monastic libraries, so to save books from being destroyed, those who could began to collect them.

Book collecting can be easy and inexpensive: there are millions of new and used books, and thousands of bookstores, including online booksellers like Abebooks, Alibris, Amazon, and Biblio.com. Only the wealthiest book collectors pursue the great rarities: the Gutenberg Bible and Shakespeare's First Folio are, for example, both famous and extremely valuable. Collectors of average means may collect works by a favorite author, first editions of modern authors, or books on a given subject. Book prices generally depend on the demand for a given book, the number of copies available, and their condition. There are associations that collectors may join. The Fine Press Book Association is aimed at collectors of modern fine printing, and produces its journal, Parenthesis, twice a year. The Private Libraries Association covers modern fine printing too, but is much more general in its outlook and produces a quarterly journal, the Private Library.
