R. (Montague Rhodes) 1862 1936 James, M.R. James, Montague Rhodes The Wanderings and Homes of Manuscripts Helps for Students of History, No. 17. Produced by Michael Ciesielski and the Booksmiths at http://www.eBookForge.net "The Wanderings and Homes of Manuscripts" by M. R. James is a scholarly historical account written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the journey and preservation of manuscripts throughout history, examining where they were produced, how they have been collected, and suggesting methods for studying their histories. It is primarily focused on Greek and Latin manuscripts, with an objective to arouse curiosity in readers about the continuing exploration of manuscript history. At the start of this work, James outlines the significant role manuscripts play in preserving historical records and literary works. He specifically highlights manuscripts from the Eton College collection, providing detailed accounts of various volumes, their origins, and tracing their paths through history. James begins with a few select manuscripts, detailing their features and the circumstances of their acquisition, often interspersing the narrative with anecdotes and historical context that show how these texts have transcended time, ownership, and even geographical barriers. The opening sets a foundation for the broader exploration of manuscript provenance and the many stories embedded within their pages.
