Cedric Chivers, Bath, 1972 reprint (with additional bibliography) of the 1911 first edition. Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm,. [16], 356, xiii pp,. From the blurb: "First published in 1911 and long out of print, Herbert's illuminated Manuscripts remains the best general introduction to the subject for English readers. Covering the art of book illumination from the late classical period to the sixteenth century, it manages to be both comprehensive and readable.

Contents: I. The Illumination of Classical Manuscripts; II. Early Christian Illumination to the End of the Sixth century; III.… Leer más
