A review by nicktomjoe
Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts by Christopher de Hamel
5.0
"I hope that these encounters had conveyed some sense of the thrill of the pursuit and the simple pleasure of meeting an original manuscript, and asking it questions and listening to its replies." De Hamel has pitched it exactly. I love this book, wholeheartedly, a scholar writing with insight and passion - and wit and lively description.
