Since this handbook was first published in 1994, interest in the book as a material object, and in the ways in which books have been owned, read and used, has burgeoned. Now established as a standard reference work, this book has been revised and expanded with a new set of over 200 colour illustrations, updated bibliographies and extended international coverage of libraries and online resources. It covers the history and understanding of inscriptions, bookplates, ink and binding stamps, mottoes and heraldry, and describes how to identify owners and track down books from particular collections via library and sale catalogues. Each section features an evaluated bibliography listing further sources, both online and in print. Illustrated examples of the many kinds of ownership evidence which can be found in books are also shown throughout. Relevant to anyone seeking to identify previous owners of books, or trace private libraries, this title will also support the work of all book historians interested in the history of reading or the use of books and in the book as a material object. An essential handbook for anyone working in provenance research.

This bookprovides an account of the excavation of a single house at the Nubian site ofQasr Ibrim in 1986. The work provided a microcosm that investigated residentialcontinuity in the context of cultural change, at a place remarkable for thesurvival of organic evidence. House 1037 should be considered in the context ofother excavations at Qasr Ibrim, conducted for many years on behalf of theEgypt Exploration Society. This raises questions about its role in the contextof African archaeology, as well as its wider relationships. The book is also astudy of the problems arising from delayed publication of archaeological fieldresearch and of the extent to which they can be overcome. Much of the site hasnow been destroyed or damaged by the rising waters of Lake Nasser, so that thebook is a record of an investigation that cannot be repeated: it is a'resurrection' of the work.
