Die Pierpont Morgan Library gilt als eine der größten Schatzkammern für wertvolle Werke aus Kunst, Literatur, Musik und Geschichte. Sie entstand in den 1890er Jahren als Privatsammlung des amerikanischen Bankiers Pierpont Morgan und ging nach seinem Tod im Jahr 1913 an seinen Sohn über, der sie 1924 zu einer öffentlichen Institution machte. Seit dieser Zeit ist die Morgan Library Forschungsbibliothek und zugleich Museum der schönen Künste. Die vorliegende Publikation gibt Einblick in die reichen Bestände einer privaten Sammelleidenschaft: In anschaulichen Texten stellt sie illuminierte Handschriften des Mittelalters und der Renaissance vor, Zeichnungen europäischer Meister aus der Zeit vor 1825, die einzigartige Sammlung von Partituren sowie Manuskripte und Briefe von Schriftstellern, Künstlern und Wissenschaftlern aus dem 15. bis 20. Jahrhundert. Mit ausgesuchtem Abbildungsmaterial reich illustriert, ist der Band ein exzellenter Führer durch eine der qualitätvollsten Bibliotheken Amerikas.

Delightful text, but the omissions are frustrating
Format: Paperback
The modern spellings of the original Middle English text make this book quite easy and fun to read. However if you're trying to follow the actual complete storyline or compare it side-by-side with one of the original full text versions the frequent omissions quickly become quite evident and frustrating as you realize just how abridged this version actually is. That being said, the foot-of-page glossary and explanatory notes are quite helpful and informative. If only they wouldn't have left so much of the text out this would be a five-star review.

Simple and easy to read
Format: Paperback
If you are looking to just understand Le Morte, this is a good book. It's written in modern English, due to the fact the author decided he wanted it to mirror the Winchester manuscript as closely as possible, that is, he wanted it to be written in the most easily accessible language of the time. Therefore, the Oxford edition of Le Morte is less bogged down in old spellings and archaic language as other versions of the text.

Worth Reading
Format: Kindle
The most important collection of medieval chivalric romance literature. Well worth the time. Great combination of nobility, courage, devotion, and humility—all virtues which need to be celebrated today.
