Description
The author explores what is known about the medieval publishing process by close study of the work of John Capgrave (1393-1464), a prolific author and one of the most learned Englishmen of his day.
In the Middle Ages, before the age of printing, the author was often his own scribe and almost invariably his own editor and publisher. Lucas shows how works newly composed by an author were prepared. Capgrave's linguistic and scribal usages are set in the socio-historical context of the 15th century.

Scholars have praised this book for its valuable contribution to understanding medieval authorship and publication. N. F. Blake highlights its role in bringing greater focus to Capgrave and situating his work alongside figures like Chaucer. E. Kooper recognises the book as a culmination of over 25 years of dedicated scholarship on Capgrave's theological and literary output. Books Ireland describes it as accessible despite its specialised nature. Overall, it offers detailed insights into palaeographical and philological aspects of Capgrave’s manuscripts.
