About This Item
London: Faber and Faber, 1959 4to (28.5 cm), 32 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj frayed at extremities with some paper missing, closed tears, binding slightly dusted, ownership entry on the front free endpaper). The publication includes eight plates reproduced in color from the Benedictional made for St. Ethelwold, Bishop of Winchester, in the second half of the 10th century. Long regarded as the supreme masterpiece of late Anglo-Saxon illumination, this Benedictional holds significant historical and artistic value. Professor Wormald's accompanying text not only provides insights into the discovery of the Benedictional's whereabouts during the Middle Ages but also offers commentary on the illumination technique employed, enriching our understanding of this remarkable manuscript.
