Book NF: clean, square, tight, unmarked/DJ VG+: touch of shelf wear, not clipped. 8vo 94pp. from front flap: "The Art of Medieval Manuscripts is a beautifully designed celebration of the medieval art of illuminated manuscripts, which was applied to subjects far more diverse than just the religious books usually associated with the genre. Introductory chapters describe the history and techniques involved. Detailed descriptions are provided throughout, including information on origin and where the works can be viewed today. The book features a spectacular collection of reproductions covering the wide variety of material that has survived the ages: from Bibles and prayer books to historical works, volumes on natural history, medicinal guides, early atlases, and even books of folklore and fiction." #02175.
