The history of the book trade in Medieval London before the age of print has long remained a matter of
speculation. Few records survive that name the book artisans and entrepreneurs involved with this early trade
venture or that document directly their methods of producing books and creating markets for them. In this
directory, C. Paul Christianson assembles an extensive body of alternative data drawn from archival documents
that identifies 262 participants in the London trade during a period of 200 years. This group includes stationers,
manuscript artisans (called limners), textwriters, bookbinders, parchment sellers, and other London citizens active
in book production and sale. This book provides a summary of information about the independent book craftsman
working in London during this period. Four appendices contain indexes, and two maps, one modern and one from
the sixteenth century, illustrate the historical area of the craft community around St. Paul's. Manuscripts and books
cited are also listed. Designed by Abe Lerner. Distributed for the Bibliographical Society of America. [Order No.

8vo., cloth. lxii, (i), 255+(1) pages. ISBN 0914930176. $45.00 $33.75
First edition. Adam Smith's great work of political economy reached French readers through reprints of English
editions; a number of translations directed towards different audiences; and a host of summaries, extracts and
reviews in magazines and journals. Combining cultural history and bibliographical analysis, Carpenter traces the
transmission of this text and assesses the implications of its paratext - occurring in reviews and advertisements,
and in the front matter, footnotes, format, and typography of more than thirty monographs and periodicals. He
provides full bibliographical descriptions necessary for identifying these works and understanding their
interpretative agenda, as well as extensive quotations showing how translators, commentators, editors, and
publishers mediated Adam Smith's ideas. An extensive introductory essay describes the textual transformation of
the French editions and explains how French readers sought in them "a tool for creating a new society." With
thirteen black-and-white illustrations and an index. [Order No. 68967]
