"This astonishing book" has contributed far more to English in the way of idiomatic or quasi-proverbial expressions than any other literary source." So wrote David Crystal in 2004. In "Begat," he returns to the subject not only to consider how a work published in 1611 could have had such influence on the language, but also how it can still do so when few regularly hear the Bible and fewer still hear it in the language of Stuart England.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 8vo (24 cm), XXII, 265 pp, plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (ownership entry on the front free endpaper). "Seizing the Hungarian throne at the age of fifteen, Matthias Corvinus, the "Raven King,? was an effervescent presence on the fifteenth-century stage. A successful warrior and munificent art patron, he sought to leave as symbols of his strategic and humanist ambitions a strong, unified country, splendid palaces, and the most magnificent library in Christendom. But Hungary, invaded by Turkey after Matthias's death in 1490, yielded its treasures, and the Raven King?s exquisite library of two thousand volumes, witness to a golden cultural age, was dispersed first across Europe and then the world. The quest to recover this collection of sumptuously illuminated scripts provoked and tantalized generations of princes, cardinals, collectors, and scholars and imbued Hungarians with the mythical conviction that the restoration of the lost library would seal their country's rebirth. In this thrilling and absorbing account, drawing on a wealth of original sources in several languages, Marcus Tanner tracks the destiny of the Raven King and his magnificent bequest, uncovering the remarkable story of a life and library almost lost to history." (publisher's synopsosis).

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 8vo (25 cm), [6], 23, [3] pp, 120 ff of facsimile. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly rubbed at extremities, small tears at tje tail and the head of the spine). "On Christmas Eve 1433, the young King Henry VI arrived at the abbey at Bury St Edmunds, one of the largest religious foundations in fifteenth-century England. To cement the abbey's relationship with the king, abbot William Curteys conceived the idea of commemorating Henry's visit with a 'life' of the Anglo-Saxon king, St Edmond, the patron saint of the abbey. It is hard to overstate the importance of the resulting manuscript, both as a monument to the development of the English language, and for its illustrations - 120 images, forming narrative sequences integrated to form a coherent visual parallel to the text and with a careful fidelity to detail. The completed manuscript that was presented to the young king remained in his library until after his deposition, and although it left royal hands for a time, it reappears in the inventories of the library of Henry VIII. It was acquired by The British Library in 1742. In both the number and quality of its illustrations and in the degree of integration, The Life of St Edmond, King and Martyr is unsurpassed." (from the publisher's synopsis).
