This thesis consists of a general introduction to the historical and palaeographical background to the subject of the transmission of Classical and Patristic texts in late Anglo-Saxon and early Norman England, followed by five chapters each dealing with a classical or patristic author. Each chapter lists the information we have available on manuscripts containing the author's work, and conclusions are drawn as to the transmission of that work. In the case of five texts, Persius, Satirae; Augustine, Enchiridion; Gregory, Cura pastoralis and Moralia and Isidore, Synonymar portions of each MS are taken and compared in detail with each other and with the modern printed edition, and a stemma is constructed on the basis of evidence thus obtained. A conclusion draws together the information on the transmission of such manuscripts throughout the eighth to twelfth centuries. There are two appendices: the first contains brief notes on texts by Classical and Patristic authors of which there are not enough copies to form stemmata, while the second takes the form of a short analysis of the use of the letter k in the margins of some insular MSS studied. There are also indices nominum et manuscriptorum. The work is divided into two volumes after Chapter Three.

This thesis primarily presents a descriptive bibliography of the works printed by or for Denis Janot, a Parisian printer who operated between 1529 and 1544. Much in the bibliography is owed to the work of Renouard now preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale, but I have tried to re-examine every known copy of every book, and have found some fifty or more editions apparently not known to Renouard, or not ascribed by him to Janot. Appendices of works possibly connected with Janot follow the bibliography. The bibliography is the source of most of the conclusions drawn in the chapters preceding it. After an introduction outlining the aims and methods of the bibliography, Chapter One discusses Janot's career, drawing on the evidence of his books, suggesting that it may be divided into four periods, and tracing Janot's development from a bookseller to a fairly orthodox printer of vernacular books to an artist who applied the aesthetic standards of the best humanist printers to the printing of French. Chapter Two examines Janot's printing materials, dealing aainly with those dating from and after 1534, when Janot began his independent career. Chapter Three considers the Amadis de Gaule romance and Janot's editions of its first five books. Treatment of critical reactions to the work is followed by a bibliographical analysis of Janot's editions. Using also the evidence of the contracts between translator and printer, the chronology of Janot's edition is established. Conclusions are then drawn about the nature of the work's reception by the reading public. The first appendix to the text contains two documents drawn from Janot's books, while the second contains a short account of the life of Nicolas de Herberay, translator of the Aniadis, and the documents discussed in Chapter Three.

This dissertation is an investigation into the social history of British Library Manuscript Additional 35157 (hereafter Add.35157), which is a late fourteenth-century copy of William Langland's alliterative poem Piers Plowman. Part one contains the text of the dissertation. In chapter 1 a general outline of the dissertation is provided and some bibliographical issues relating to the identification of Add.35157 are discussed. Chapter 2 proposes that the knowledge of a manuscript's provenance is itself a legitimate goal of research. Chapter 2 also provides a sample exercise in manuscript research using a copy of John Lydgate's poem Life of Our Lady from the University of Glasgow's Hunterian Collection. Chapter 3 forwards a classification system for manuscript marginalia and explains how some of the classification arose. Chapter 4 discusses issues related to the codicology of Add.35157, suggests a new date for the manuscript's construction, discusses the work of its scribes and provides several new catalogue descriptions of the manuscript. Chapters 5 through 8 analyse the contributions and detail the biographies of four of Add.35157's owners or commentators. Chapter 9 concludes that there is much to be learned from the continued study of the social history of medieval manuscripts. Part two comprises fourteen appendices, includes an edition of Add.35157's marginal supply, surveys of its dialect, transcriptions of its text and reproductions of selected folios.
