Holiday reading - new acquisitions

Here are some titles that are just arriving in the library - you'll notice that several of them have Stanford ties (Girard, Canto-Sperber, and a special mention to the publication of Lara Moore's dissertation, Restoring Order: The Ecole Des Chartes and the Organization of Archives and Libraries in France, 1820-1870.)

On the Italian front, I'd also like to bring your attention to a new facsimile edition of Leonardo da Vinci's Leicester Codex, with English translation, available to consult in Special Collections:

And if you have time this holiday season, the Legion of Honor museum in SF has a nice exhibit of some of Leonardo's drawings from the collections of the Biblioteca Reale in Turin.
