Medieval manuscripts, with their cold and painted decoration and miniatures, are counted among the great glories of Western civilization. Images from them can be seen everywhere, from greeting cards and wrapping paper to facsimiles. This text offers an introduction to the whole subject of making books, from the Dark Ages to the invention of printing and beyond. The author describes the differing circumstances in which manuscripts were created, from the earliest monastic Gospel Books to university textbooks, secular romances, Books of Hours and classical texts for humanist bibliophiles. The variety of manuscrips and their illumination is revealed, and many fundamental questions discussed - who wrote the books, what texts they contained, who read them, how they were made and what purposes they served.

评分物美價廉!簡明扼要。
评分raymond的introduction那本側重codicology的介紹,這本書則側重不同使用群體與書籍內容的分彆,特彆是對literary text的插圖分析很有啓發性
评分可以說是手抄本入門書裏麵也不錯的瞭,而且印刷什麼的超贊,價格還不算太貴(和同類型很多書比起來)
