G. Aston, Ernest Satow, and Heinrich von Siebold in Japan, mostly in the 1860s and 1870s. Of the 2,500 items, some are manuscripts and some movable-type books from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; the bulk, however, are wood-block printed books of the Edo period (1600–1868). The editors' introduction outlines the history of the collection, identifying some of the more important items and explaining the bibliographical principles on which the catalogue has been compiled. The entries that follow give title, author\/editor\/illustrator, date of publication and\/or printing, all participating publishers, and the seals of previous owners.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Guide to the contents of the catalogue\u003cbr\u003e Table of era names\u003cbr\u003e The catalogue\u003cbr\u003e Appendix\u003cbr\u003e Plates\u003cbr\u003e Title index\u003cbr\u003e Concordance.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Anthologies [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Anthologies\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Anthologies%20%5Bnon-poetry%5D%20%5BDQ%5D%22\"\u003enon-poetry DQ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46006573138200,"sku":"9780521128322","price":42.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521128322i.jpg?v=1691371903","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/early-japanese-books-in-cambridge-university-library-a-catalogue-of-the-aston-satow-and-von-siebold-collections-paperback-9780521128322","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
