Excellent review of the making of a manuscript book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Medieval Book: Illustrated from the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library (MART: The Medieval Academy Reprints for Teaching) (Paperback)
This book covers the procees of the creation of the book in the Middle Ages. It contains detailed photographs and facsimile pages of manuscripts in various stages: ruled for writing, written and awaiting illumination, waiting for binding, and in use. Some of the details provided in Ms. Shailor's book are wonderful and rarely found in other affordable books on the subject. Further, the manuscripts selected for study are not limitied to the best-of-the-best books made for the nobility and the church, as is usually seen, but also includes information on manuscripts made for every day life. Individuals interested in the actual tools and processes of making medieval manuscript books would be well-served if they obtained this book.
