I second the recommendation of the relevant volumes of the _Handbook of
the History of Logic_.

A good compliment to Kneale and Kneale (which despite its extremely
narrow view of what counts as "logic" is still an invaluable resource)
is Leila Haaparanta's _The Development of Modern Logic_ (Oxford, 2009).
For logic in the Middle Ages, I cannot recommend highly enough sections
II to V of Norman Kretzmann, et al., _The Cambridge History of Later
Medieval Philosophy_.

None of these are textbooks, per se, unfortunately; you're quite right
in noting the lack on this subject.  I am currently in the process of
writing one, though it's not yet in a state to be of much use to anyone
other than me.  However, some of the articles that I am using this
semester in my course "Formal Logic Before Frege" might also be of use;
they're linked from
