Description

On this fantastically produced and illustrated volume (247 illustrations, about 30 in color, including plenty of full-page plates) Alexander (art, Institute of Fine Arts, New York) presents a survey of manuscript illumination right through Europe from the fourth to the sixteenth century. He discusses the social and historical context of the illuminators’ lives, considers their methods of labor, and presents a chain of case studies to turn the variety and nature of the visual sources and the techniques by which they were adapted, copied, or created anew.
