arrived in the mail today! we surprised Erik with it at the International Conference of the Medieval Chronicle this summer, an instance of a series of conferences instigated by Erik in the 1990s. the thickest (380 pp.!) volume in the series The Medieval Chronicle, with the most (28!) authors, the only one with an index, and the one I had the largest responsibility for (as co-editor of the series which Erik established, he always did more than I did). @medievodons@histodons
I’m very pleased to see this out, too - my chapter on the early printing history of the Middle English Brut, in which I set out the early stages of Anglo-Dutch publishing (involving the printing of English in the Dutch Low Countries, and the activities of Dutch printers in England), and show that the early Dutch printer Gerard Leeu (Gouda, then Antwerp) likely knew English. @medievodons@histodons
