Books with Manuscript: A Short Title Catalogue of Books with Manuscript Notes in the British Library : Including Books with Manuscript Additions, Proofsheets, Illustrations, Corrections : with Indexes of Owners and Books with Authorial AnnotationsMarginal annotations to printed books are a little studied aspect of the history of books and the transmission of ideas, providing a commentary on published texts which is conventionally anonymous, critical and economical. While many annotations are no more than individual comments on or disagreements with what an author has written, in a significant number of cases marginal notes have been found to be authorial, often adding an important new dimension to the original text. |
