"An introduction to one of the most significant art-forms of the Middle Ages by one of the world's greatest authorities on the subject. a unique account of facts and ideas gathered during several decades of teaching and research. Not only examines all types of decoration and illumination from the point of view of format and style, but also goes far beyond the factual. Explains the basic vocabulary and concepts by which this art-form is to be understood, and offers deep insights into the fundamental philosophy, theology, technology and cultural ambience that underlie the production of book illumination throughout its long history." - from dust jacket.
