Published in 1919, this volume is a change of pace from an author best known for his classic ghost stories. It is a history of the transmission of manuscripts from one area, culture, or age, to another. The author’s moral: ‘Be inquisitive. See books for yourself; do not trust that the cataloguer has told you everything.’
