Editorial Reviews

Review

“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
 

“Equally useful for scholars, students, and casual museum visitors, it provides many of the essential tools for both understanding and enjoying these beautiful books.”
  ― Times Higher Education

“. . . a vital reference point for anyone keen on medieval culture or the history of the book.”
  ― Apollo

“Essential.”
  ― Choice

“A very elegant and practical work.”
  ― Art de l’enluminure

“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.”
  ― The Medieval Review

“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.”
  -- Patrick Hunt ― Comitatus: A Journal of Medieval and Renaissance Studies

    I am Author Michelle Brown i love writing my book i wrote called This girl's life:Being the child of a war veteran It's a memoir about a little girl survival in the home of her war veteran dad who beat and tortured her for years. And she was afraid to tell anyone because her dad had threatened to kill her. So she kept quiet for years and the beatings never stop the reason i wrote about the abuse is because it kept giving me nightmares. And i didn't know how to stop them other than to release the anger in me and i realized that i needed to stop being a victim and become a survivor. So now i am on a quest to help other survivors out there to over come there fear.When someone is abusing you they have control over you.You have to release that control and take back your life.It was hard for me but i did it and i am proud of myself and you can do it to.
