Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2005

Illuminated manuscripts, particularly those produced in the convents, monasteries, and abbeys of medieval Europe, are among the most beautiful objects in the world. This book, with an authoritative text and breathtaking full-color illustrations, shows how the art developed, flourished, and gave expression to that great age of faith which was the Middle Ages.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's okay but not great, June 30, 2011

Dedimus - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Illuminated Manuscripts (Hardcover)

Had I seen this in a bookstore I wouldn't have paid more than $10. While there are some wonderful examples in the book, it is also filled with some very poor quality facsimiles that detracts from the book in my opinion.
