CONFERENCE BOOK BIBLIOGRAPHY ORDER CONNEXION THORNBER NOTES: (1994 : CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND), Cloth, paper title-label, 8vo, 25 cm, xxii, 202 pp, ills. From the introduction: "The papers in this volume are by past Munby Fellows, a Cambridge post founded in 1977 in memory of the bibliographical scholar Alan Munby, and derive from the Munby Seminar. Covering a diverse range of topics, they all illustrate the variety of ways in which bibliographical evidence is used to determine significant features of both manuscripts and printed books. The title Order and Connexion indicates the emphasis on two of the most important aspects of bibliography: the bringing of coherence to the sequence of manifestations of a text or a body of similar texts, and establishing the connections which texts have with the circumstances of their creation, publication, dissemination, reception, reputation, influence and survival."
