Queen Elizabeth`s Book of Oxford was made in 1566 as a gift for Elizabeth I on the occasion of her first royal visit to Oxford. It was made, however, not just out of reverence for the Queen, but with the aim of getting her to endow the foundation of a new college. This sophisticated tour guide is presented as a dialogue between the Queen & her guide, in which the monarch asks questions which allow the guide to extol the generosity of the founders of each college they visit. The book failed. Queen Elizabeth founded no new institutions, but the exercise has left us with a fascinating insight into ideas of patronage & endowment in Elizabeth`s day. This unique manuscript contains a Latin verse account of the famous buildings of the University illustrated by a series of beautiful pen drawings, & conceived by its scholarly producers as an imaginary progress through these locations. The complete manuscript is now made available for the first time in actual-size facsimile with full-text translation, a commentary on the images, & an analytical essay which places the manuscript in its historical context. ...

This text tells the story of the ” Queen Mary”, once the world`s largest & fastest ocean liner. Put into service in 1936, she soon captured the imagination of the public on both sides of the Atlantic, & came to represent the spirit of an era that was characterized by elegance & style. With her speed & stateliness, the new liner provided a tangible symbol of the end of the Depression, making her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York a source of great national pride. Her Art Deco interiors were renowned for their craftsmanship & attention to detail, with everything from carpets to doorknobs specially designed by the best artists & craftsmen of the period. Contemporary with New York`s finest Deco hotels & office blocks, such as the Chrysler Building, the ” Queen Mary” provides a floating example of the streamlined style. During World War II, the luxury liner went on to perform service as a troop carrier, where her quickness allowed her to elude the U-boat captains intent on collecting the bounty that Hitler offered for her destruction, & earned the ship the title of ”the Grey Ghost”. Weighing over 81, 000 tons & spanning over 1000 feet in length, the ” Queen Mary`s” might & power remained equally impressive in times of war & peace. ...
