Mélanges de Littérature Grecque
Emmanuel Miller (1812–1886) published Mélanges de Littérature Grecque, perhaps his most important work, in 1867. The volume is a collection of Greek lexicographical texts, proverbs and hymns. It includes large sections of the Etymologicum Genuinum, a ninth-century lexical encyclopaedia compiled in Constantinople under the supervision of Photius. The text is the recension found in the tenth-century manuscript Laurent. S. Marci 304 (B). The volume includes Miller's collation of B against Gaisford's 1848 edition of the Etymologicum Magnum, revealing the strong textual consanguinity between the two lexicons. The volume includes shorter texts including excerpts from the Etymologicum Parvum; compilations of proverbs from authors such as Zenobius, Didymus of Alexandria, and Aristophanes of Byzantium; and a selection of Orphic hymns. Miller made many of these texts available the first time, opening the way for critical study, and the volume made an important contribution to the understanding of Byzantine scholarship.

Bernard Leach
An exceptionally thoughtful and well-written biography of one of the most influential studio potters in Britain Widely recognized as the father of studio pottery, Bernard Leach (1887–1979) played a pioneering role in creating an identity for artist potters in Britain and around the world. Born in the East (Hong Kong) and educated in the West (England), throughout his life Leach perceived himself as a courier between the disparate cultures. His exquisite pots reflect the inspiration he drew from East and West as well as his response to the basic tenets of modernism—truth to materials, the importance of function to form, and simplicity of decoration. This outstanding biography provides for the first time a vivid and detailed account of Leach’s life and its relation to his art. Emmanuel Cooper, himself a potter of international reputation, explores Leach’s working methods, the seams of his pottery, his writings and philosophy, his recognition in Japan and Britain, and his continuing legacy, bringing into sharp focus a complex man who captured in his work as a potter the “still center” that always eluded him in his tumultuous personal life.Distributed for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
