About This Item
Oxford : Phaidon, 1979 4to (29 cm), 80 pp, 70 plates (28 in color). Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly rubbed at extremities). The seventy manuscripts featured in this book, ranging from the Lindisfarne Gospels to the Diogo Homem's Atlas (mid 16th century), offer a rich tapestry spanning almost nine hundred years of European art history. While the technical aspects of manuscript production are clearly elucidated, it is the illuminations themselves and their diverse styles and content that captivate.
