Illustrations in Roll and Codex a Study of the Origin and Method of Test Illustration

a few very small spots to covers, former owner's name on front free end page. This is Studies in Manuscript illumination #2. "The comparison of secular as well as biblical miniature cycles with their underlying texts posed the problem of how miniature and text are related to each other in principle. The present study is an atempt to deal with this problem in a systematic manner, so that the results may not ony consititue a kind of prolegomenon to the history of the Septuagint illustration, but also an outline of the method which can be applied to similar iconographic studies in the field of manuscript illumination." 219 pages plus plates; 9 x 12 ".
