TUFFREAU-LIBRE, Marie, La ceramique commune Gallo-Romaine dans le Nord de la France (Nord, Pas-de-Dalais). Presses Universitaires de Lille, Lille, 1980. 287p. ills.(B&W line drawings). Paperback. Front cover to lower corner slightly creased. (Rare). ‘Le but de l’étude suivant est de constituer une synthèse, fondée sur l’état actuel des recherches, des céramiques communes gallo-romaines du Nord de la France.’ (…) L’auteur opte, dans la présentation, pour une typologie pure et simple de toutes les céramiques dites communes, sans distinction de techniques, ce qui a l’avantage pour l’utilisateur d’un repérage visuel rapide des comparaisons. Les classements chronologiques sont envisagés ensuite, et, au terme de l’analyse, le problème de production et de commercialisation. (…) Les sites de référence sont choisis en raison de leur cohérence et de leur intérêt archéologique et chronologique (…). Madame Tuffreau a eu le courage de s’attaquer à un sujet de grande difficulté et son panorama de l’évolution de la vaisselle commune dans toute une zone de la Gaule Belgique rendra incontestablement service aux archéologues.’ (GEORGES RAEPSAET in L’antiquité classique, 1983, pp.578-79).

Gift intention handwritten in pencil on free endpaper. 'The first general introduction to papyrology (…) since Schubart's Einführung in die Papyruskunde. (…). One of the author's aims is certainly to make available to the uninitiated the basic answers to the questions which they might ask about papyri and their study. (…) But another aim, no less important, is to ensure that the right questions are asked, and to suggest how the right kind of answers may be given, by those who have made rather more progress in the field. And here many (…) will find a most salutary corrective to some of their cherished, but never properly examined, presuppositions, and our successors may be able to avoid some of our grosser errors (…). Finally, it has often been stated (…) that the days of papyrology are numbered and that there are few texts still left to be edited. Turner (…) refutes this: there are, for example, as many Oxyrhynchus texts still to be published as have already appeared, and there is much more to be done than there are hands to do it for many years to come.'

TURNER, S., The History of the Anglo-Saxons 4 Volume Set. Cambridge University Press, 2018. 1810p. 4 Paperback books. Series: Cambridge Library Collection - Medieval History. Sharon Turner (1768–1847) practised as a solicitor in London, specialising in the law of copyright. As a young man he became enthusiastically involved in the study of Anglo-Saxon and Icelandic literature and history. In 1799–1805 he published this four-volume history, still acknowledged as a turning point in Anglo-Saxon studies and a benchmark in historiography. Turner was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1800, soon after the first volume appeared. His approach of contrasting 'Anglo-Saxon freedom' with 'the Norman yoke' (an idea dating from the seventeenth century) held particular appeal at a time of deteriorating political relations with France. Turner's lasting achievement, however, was to draw public attention to the rich and fascinating material contained in the Anglo-Saxon manuscripts he had studied at the British Museum. This work went through many editions, but was eventually superseded by Kemble's The Saxons in England (1849, also reissued). (Publisher's information). € 120.00 (New)
