5.0 out of 5 stars
Very useful book in viewing Illumniated Artwork
I was surfing the web one day and I came across Illuminated Artwork. This is the artwork Monks would drawn in their holy text back in the days when monks wrote out entire books. Back then there was no presses. I wanted to view the artwork closer and this book has many fine examples of that. Very pleased with the book.

Frustrating
The lines don't meet up & any kind of interrupted line is different on either side of the interruption. Many of the illustrations are frankly boring or repetitive besides. I'm already so frustrated with it that I plan to give it to my nephew as soon as he's old enough to hold a crayon.

I bought this book to share with my middle school students when learning about Medieval Europe and illuminated manuscripts. Most letters include 2 different samples. Some only have 1. Letters I, J, K, Q, and X did not have letter samples that appealed to me. The others were beautiful and showed a variety of features of medieval life. Beautiful drawings.
