In this beautifully produced and illustrated volume (247 illustrations, about 30 in color, including a number of full-page plates) Alexander (art, Institute of Fine Arts, New York) presents a survey of manuscript illumination throughout Europe from the fourth to the sixteenth century. He discusses the social and historical context of the illuminators' lives, considers their methods of work, and presents a series of case studies to show the range and nature of the visual sources and the ways in which they were adapted, copied, or created anew.
