☆ The Members of This ‘Manuscripts Club’ Were Obsessed With Medieval Books
  + stars: | 2023-11-11 | by ( Bruce Holsinger | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
It seems nothing less than a miracle that so many manuscripts from the era endure to our day. These heroes are the subjects of Christopher de Hamel’s lovingly written and lavishly illustrated “The Manuscripts Club: The People Behind a Thousand Years of Medieval Manuscripts.” Crack the spine of any volume by de Hamel and you will step into a world of bookish wonderment. One of the most eminent living scholars and catalogers of medieval European manuscripts, de Hamel is also their greatest champion, having devoted his career to revealing their treasures and mysteries to scholarly and public audiences alike. Alongside his catalogs of private and public collections, he has published studies and guidebooks on a variety of topics. “Scribes and Illuminators” (1992) is still widely taught to students in paleography and codicology (the sciences of old handwriting and old manuscript books, respectively), while “The Book: A History of the Bible” (2001) surveys the history of the sacred Hebrew and Christian texts through the lens of their myriad surviving manuscripts.

☆ Stephen Rubin, Publisher of 'The Da Vinci Code' and Other Blockbusters, Dies at 81

Rubin died Friday at a hospital in Manhattan after “a brief and sudden illness,” according to his nephew, David Rotter. “Steve Rubin was a great publisher,” Grisham said in a statement. “For more than a month, it was humanly impossible to miss ‘Fire and Fury,’" Rubin wrote in his memoir “Words and Music,” published earlier this year. Rubin joined Bantam Books, a venerable paperback publisher, in the mid-1980s, and remained there for six years before leaving for Doubleday. In his memoir, he offered a succinct, if incomplete prediction: “I suppose the headline of my obit will read 'Publisher of ”The Da Vinci Code" dies'.”

☆ Hilary Mantel, Prizewinning ‘Wolf Hall’ Author, Dies at 70
  + stars: | 2022-09-23 | by ( Sarah Ball | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The success of Hilary Mantel’s ‘Wolf Hall’ trilogy is often credited with reinvigorating sales and publisher interest in the historical-fiction genre. Booker Prize-winning author Hilary Mantel, whose acclaimed reconsideration of Tudor politics in “Wolf Hall” received major Broadway and television adaptations, died Thursday, her publisher HarperCollins said. She was 70 years old. King Henry VIII’s chief minister Thomas Cromwell, historically portrayed as an artless bully in the centuries before Ms. Mantel’s books, was reimagined in the “Wolf Hall” trilogy as perhaps the first great political power broker.
