Bless @internetarchive for saving the interesting website of the late #AnnSwinfen, to which she was adding until her sudden death in August 2018. Here's her introduction to #medieval #records & to the business of the #bookseller, supplying both affordable #textbooks to students & fine illustrated #manuscripts to wealthy patrons:

Thinking of #14thCentury #Oxford thanks to the splendid #MedievalMurderMaps, I'm delighted to see that the #OxfordMedievalMysteries are on sale again. These evocative #novels by #AnnSwinfen are set in 1353-4, the adventures of a young #bookshop proprietor as life & business begin to normalise after the #plague.
