The McCarthy Collection, Volume I: Italian and Byzantine Miniatures by Gaudenz Freuler and Georgi Parpulov

Ad Ilissvm, 2019 4to (30.5 cm), 288 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "The present volume is dedicated to the holdings of single leaves and miniatures from medieval Italian manuscripts, which cover a period from the late 9th to the late 15th centuries, and are enriched by a few Byzantine items, appropriately included here and discussed by Georgi Parpulov. The focus on late 13th- and early 14th-century illumination in the collection demonstrates McCarthy’s predilection for the medieval and early Gothic world, which also becomes apparent in his holdings of French and German illumination, to be discussed by Peter Kidd in volumes II and III."
