The Royal Library of the Monastery of El Escorial keeps thousands of manuscripts on various subjects. This work deals with the study of an approximate dozen of medieval and modern Castilian manuscripts of legal content that, presumably, contain some compilation projects of the 16th century promoted by the crown. Many were the voices that during the aforementioned century demanded the kings the elaboration of a legal compilation that would amend the errors that Alonso Díaz de Montalvo, advisor to the Catholic Monarchs, had made in their compilation. And many are the testimonies that indicate that this reparative work began, was postponed and was resumed during the first years of the modern age. It is in these Escurialense manuscripts where the author has searched for those mentioned compilation projects, in them the intervention of very important jurists of the time like Lorenzo Gálindez de Carvajal, Ponce de León or Francisco de Espinosa can be glimpsed.

This work is an introduction to the study of books produced during the period of the hand press, dating from around 1450 through 1800. Using his own bibliographic interests as a guide, the author selects illustrative examples primarily from fifteenth-century books, books of particular interest to students of English literature, and books central to the development of Anglo-American bibliography. It covers the basic procedures of printing and the parts of the physical book, size, paper, type, illustration; as well as the history of book-copies from cataloging conventions and provenance to electronic media and their implications for the study of books. The author begins with the central distinction between a "book-copy", the particular, individual, physical book, and a "book", the abstract category that organizes these copies into editions, whereby each copy is interchangeable with any other. Among other issues, he addresses such basic questions as: How do students, bibliographers, and collectors discuss these things? And when is it legitimate to generalize on the basis of particular examples? He considers each issue in terms of a practical example or question a reader might confront: How do you identify books on the basis of typography? What is the status of paper evidence? How are the various elements on the page defined? What are the implications of the images available in an online database? And, significantly, how does a scholar's personal experience with books challenge or conform to the standard language of book history and bibliography?

The period 1603-1645 witnessed the publication of more than ninety books, manuals, and broadsheets dedicated to educating Englishmen in the military arts. Written with the intention of creating the “complete soldier”, this didactic literature provided gentlemen with the requisite knowledge to engage in infantry, cavalry, and siege warfare. Drawing on military history and book history, this is the first detailed study of the impact of military books on military practice in Jacobean and Caroline England. Putting military books firmly in the hands of soldiers, this work examines the circles that purchased and debated new titles, the veterans who authored them, and their influence on military thought and training in the years leading up to the English Civil War.
