Queen Elizabeth's Book of Oxford by Louise Durning
This extraordinary book was one of the many gifts presented to Queen Elizabeth during her week-long visit to Oxford in the summer of 1566. A history of the University illustrated with exceptionally fine architectural drawings of its buildings, this facsimile includes a translation and commentary on this fascinating work.
"A treasure for scholars and renaissance buffs alikeIt provides scholars with an opportunity to delve into a rare commemorative record of a specific Elizabethan event. . . . With the skills of the academic researcher and the instincts of a detective Durning outlines a most interesting case for the creation of the manuscript, the motives for its construction, and the processes of its development. . . . Well deserving of a recommendation to read and keep as a treasure."—Wayne Cunnigham, Renaissance Magazine
