The first comprehensive scholarly description of the Western medieval and Renaissance manuscripts in the Princeton University Library
"[A] rich catalogue. . . . In today's electronic environment, this publication demonstrates some of the virtues of the traditional hard-copy format--ease of browsing and cross-referencing being perhaps the most important. A vast amount of information is quickly absorbed, the contours and growth of the collection always apparent. Skemer has drawn on a tremendous wealth of scholarship."---Rowan Watson, Times Literary Supplement
