this article uses techniques of typographical analysis to identify the print houses that secretly produced the most important writings associated with the incipient ‘Leveller’ grouping as it took shape in 1646–47. It examines the key printers, Jane Coe and Thomas Paine, while illuminating the dynamics of the clandestine book trade of the 1640s. It then shows that these same printers acted as stationers of choice for the emergent New Model Army agitators, producing works such as the The Case of the Army Truly Stated and An Agreement of the People, among other titles. The resulting account sheds light on the origins and nature of the Leveller movement, and allows for discussion of the connections between the Levellers and the New Model Army. More broadly, this article highlights the centrality of printers as political protagonists and suggests that new modes of bibliographical analysis can address major problems in early-modern history.

This article outlines the circulation and readership of a continental French text called the Miroir des dames in England during the fifteenth century. Three surviving manuscripts can be connected with England: one belonged to the Duke of Bedford, another to Henry VII, and a third was created in England and copied from Bedford's manuscript. Documentary evidence indicates that at least two further manuscripts of the Miroir circulated in England. These manuscripts and references demonstrate the continued reading and copying of French texts in England among a select circle of bibliophiles.

Niccolò di Lorenzo della Magna and the Social World of Florentine Printing, ca. 1470–1493. By LORENZ BÖNINGER. (I Tatti Studies in Italian Renaissance History.) Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press. 2021. vi + 209 pp. $49.95. ISBN 978 0 674 25113 7. LORENZ BÖNINGER IS AN INDEPENDENT GERMAN SCHOLAR who has spent the last few decades delving slowly and patiently through the medieval and Renaissance documents in the State Archive in Florence. There is no shortage of material. The Notarile antecosimiano, for instance, or the legal archive that takes its name from the real establishment of the Medici state by Duke Cosimo I (1519–74, reigned from 1537; the archive takes as a watershed 1569, when he acquired the title of Grand Duke), holds 21,488 volumes from the whole of Tuscany (and this is just the lawyers). Palaeo graphical skills, honed with time and practice, are often required to decipher the crabbed legal scripts, usually hirsute with abbreviations. When in the present work Böninger remarks that a document is difficult to read, more usual parlance would most likely describe it as a horrible, illegible scrawl. Articles in either German or Italian, illustrating the progress of his research, have been appearing over the last twenty years or so, while some of his most signifi cant discoveries are brought together in the present monograph, which he has made a huge effort to write directly in English. Böninger has a particular devotion for one of Florence’s first printers, denomi nated in GW/ISTC in Latinate style as Nicholaus Laurentii, or Nicholas, the son of Laurence (there may be something in a name), who signed the colophons of his books variously as ‘per me Nicholaum Florentiae’ (1477), ‘per me Nicolaum Alamanum’ (1483), and ‘per me Nicholo di Lorenzo della Magna’ (1486): i.e. he came from Germany and was happy to advertise the fact.1 Modernized, this last version appears in the title of the present work; on the other hand, to avoid making a mouthful
Niccolò di Lorenzo della Magna和佛罗伦萨印刷的社会世界，约1470-1493。作者:LORENZ BÖNINGER。(《塔蒂意大利文艺复兴历史研究》)剑桥,质量。哈佛大学出版社，2021。Vi + 209页，49.95美元。Isbn 978 0 674 25113LORENZ BÖNINGER是一位独立的德国学者，在过去的几十年里，他一直在佛罗伦萨国家档案馆缓慢而耐心地钻研中世纪和文艺复兴时期的文献。材料并不短缺。例如，公证人档案(Notarile antecosimiano)或法律档案，其名称源于科西莫一世公爵(Duke Cosimo I, 1519-74年，1537年执政)真正建立的美第奇国家;档案馆把1569年(他获得大公称号的那一年)作为一个分水岭，收藏了整个托斯卡纳的21488卷(这还只是律师的)。随着时间的推移和实践的磨练，古图形技术往往需要破译潦草的法律文字，通常是多毛的缩写。在目前的工作中，Böninger评论说一份文件很难阅读，更常见的说法很可能将其描述为可怕的，难以辨认的潦草。在过去二十年左右的时间里，用德语或意大利语发表了一些文章，说明了他的研究进展，而他的一些最重要的发现被汇集在这本专著中，他花了很大的努力直接用英语写了出来。Böninger特别喜欢佛罗伦萨的第一批印刷商之一，用GW/ISTC拉丁文命名为尼古拉斯·劳伦提，或尼古拉斯，劳伦斯的儿子(名字里可能有什么)，他在自己的书的页签上写着“per me Nicolaum Florentiae”(1477)，“per me Nicolaum Alamanum”(1483)和“per me Nicholo di Lorenzo della Magna”(1486):即他来自德国，很高兴宣传这一事实现代化后，这最后一个版本出现在本作品的标题中;另一方面，为了避免弄出一口

This note addresses a small obscurity in M. R. James's description of a manuscript at Jesus College, Cambridge. While the difficulty resolved is minor, it does gesture toward a persisting problem of manuscript production, how to conclude a book or similar smaller unit.

A recent publication has laid the groundwork for future studies of printers’ flowers. This paper begins by using the evidence of flowers to show that two seemingly unrelated printed fragments in the Beinecke Library come from a single book. An attempt to identify the printer then reveals the largely unexplored extent to which London printers’ ornaments migrated to Scotland in the 1590s and came back in 1603, and that leads in turn to some new biographical facts about the printer Robert Waldegrave. An appendix looks at some later copies of Robert Granjon’s best-known six-part combinable flower, which have too often been mistaken for the originals.

This note expands on an article by Malcolm Parkes, published posthumously in The Library. In his article, Parkes looks at monograms left by Oxford stationer Thomas Hunt in the manuscripts that Hunt appraised. He argues that Hunt capitalized on these manuscripts, using them as securities for borrowed money he in turn invested in his printing business. Thos note shows that Hunt appraised several more books than Parkes found and suggest that Hunt’s work as a university stationer was possibly more lucrative than previously imagined.
