Paperback. Condition: New. This work marks a significant and tragic moment in the history of medieval Jewish-Christian relations, as it promulgates one of Europe's first allegations of Jewish ritual murder of a Christian child. Composed in stages between 1150 and 1173 by Thomas, a monk at the Benedictine priory of Norwich, the Life narrates in seven books the murder (in 1144), discovery, miracles and canonisation (though he was deprived of sainthood at the Reformation) of a local boy, William. Offering an invaluable window into daily life in twelfth-century East Anglia, the work also stands at the origins of a myth with profound consequences for medieval Jewish communities. Edited by Augustus Jessop (1823-1914) and M. R. James (1862-1936) from a unique manuscript, this 1896 edition offers the original Latin text and a modern English translation, supplemented by detailed considerations of the textual, historical and political contexts shaping this remarkable document.…

Four pages, 12mo, bifolium, good condition. "Yes! I am y[our] man or whatever of y[our] who while still [?] jolly twenties sent almost my earliest printed brochure to Landpor & was surprised enough [& pleased as Punch!] to see his reply to in Frazer's [sic] Magazine [.]." He no longer has copies of the Magazine or the privately printed item he send ("piece of presumption") which concerned spelling in C17th writers - "everyone spelt as he pleased" so it should be modernised. "I was a great admirer and a great reader of Landor in those days of my [sweet?] youth" even reading the difficlt Latin poems "which tried my patience" [and] "made me almost rurn against the grand old heathen.- Are there any survivors of that extinct (?) race of pure heathens among us now? Landor & Peacock and Beckford and (I suspect) Basil Montagu and half a dozen others the like of whom are never heard of now-a-days-?" He hopes to meet up and "shall be glad to see you; though I know almost nothing about Landor now- Our first loves - Alack! - are so often forsaken for the younger nymphs - or Satyrs? - It's all my will for Virgil to pretend that Dido cut Aeneas up there among the dazzling ones [.]" Note: This letter was withg other letters about Landor addressed to the editor of Landor's letters, Stephen Wheeler.…
