The Oxford Handbook of Latin Palaeography
Latin books are among the most numerous surviving artifacts of the Late Antique, Mediaeval, and Renaissance periods in European history; written in a variety of formats and scripts, they preserve the literary, philosophical, scientific, and religious heritage of the West.

The Sun Also Rises
Expatriates, World War I veterans, and former lovers, Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley remain friends several years after the war. Accompanied by friends and acquaintances, they travel through Europe. Jake struggles with relationships, and Brett has an affair. Alongside friends and acquaintances alike, the two search for meaningful connections and experiences in the wake of the war. First published in 1926, this unabridged edition explores the lifestyles and disillusioned attitudes of members of the Lost Generation—the group of people that came of age during World War I—and the massive cultural shift it brought.
A Supplement to Notae Latinae
Originally published in 1936, this book is intended to supplement W. M. Lindsay's Notae Latinae of 1915, which examined Latin abbreviations of the early minuscule period (circa 700-850 AD). Bains reviews symbols employed in the following two centuries, as well as a few which were developed more fully as a result of the rise of learning and science in the twelfth century. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in palaeography.

This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in palaeography or medieval Latin.
