Recenzii
“Overall its thoroughness, high-quality photographs, and wide range of subjects covered make it much more than a simple guide to technical terms, or a resource solely for students of illuminated manuscripts.”
—Emma Treleaven, The Journal of Dress History
—Emma Treleaven, The Journal of Dress History
“Equally useful for scholars, students, and casual museum visitors, it provides many of the essential tools for both understanding and enjoying these beautiful books.”
“. . . a vital reference point for anyone keen on medieval culture or the history of the book.”
“Essential.”
“A very elegant and practical work.”
“Overall, this book remains an invaluable resource for the teaching of the study of illuminated manuscripts. The authors of this excellent mise-à-jour should be thanked for their contribution to what will remain a standard introductory and reference resource.”
“Anyone lucky enough to teach medieval art will find this little book one of the most satisfying and necessary additions to a library and arguably a required text for students given its affordability and textual clarity of glossary definitions as well as lavish images worth poring over for well-spent hours of aesthetic pleasure.”
