Abstract This article centres on a connection between the manuscript reading marks of the Italian humanist Niccolò Leonico Tomeo (Venice 1456-Padua 1531), in the form of curved branches with sprouting leaves, and printed marginal notes found in early editions of his works printed in Venice and Paris. Known generally as a Greek scholar of Aristotle active at the University of Padua, Leonico had also an important role in contemporary intellectual and political debate, especially in relation to his many close English acquaintances. This article examines the occurrences of these unique marginal annotations in manuscript and print, and connects Leonico’s printed works to the printing and intellectual environment in Padua and Venice.

Abstract Owing to protracted investigations of heresy, much of John Wyclif’s oeuvre is now available, not in insular, but only in Bohemian manuscripts. However, the mechanisms of such transmission have remained murky, in spite of Anne Hudson’s magisterial investigations in Czech libraries. This essay looks at evidence for an analogous, yet orthodox, transmission, earlier and, before 1407, considerably more prolific than the Wycliffite example. This involves Oxonian texts written for preachers; these had a lively and early Bohemian circulation, dating back to the foundations of the Charles University, Prague.

Abstract This essay reconstructs a collection of books given by Alexander Pope to the Blount family of Mapledurham in Oxfordshire. The collection includes both books that were presented by the author to the Blounts and also books from his personal library that were bequeathed to Martha Blount in his will. In 1951 more than thirty of the most important books in the collection were sold to the firm of William H. Robinson Ltd. and subsequently dispersed. This essay traces those books and provides their present locations in a finding list. Paying close attention to these books reveals the degree to which Pope was interested not only in the printed form of his writings, but also in their broader bibliographical presentation.
