An insight into the lives of ancient book producers 19 Oct 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

The author has captured the essence of the lives of not only scribes and illuminators but gives an insight into the work of the parchment maker, ink making and others. Highly recommended.

Excellent and concise overview 24 Sep 2009

By klai

Format:Paperback

This book is a great introduction to the production of manuscripts in the Middle Ages. While the book is short, the text is informative but clear and very readable, and the many pictures make it an enjoyable read. The perfect place to start learning about manuscripts and their makers.

A Really Informative Little Book!! 3 Dec 2002

By Terra Viri

Format:Paperback

This book is not very big, but it is very well written and full of information. It describes in detail the circumstances under which scribes and illuminators worked in the middle ages. It contains full colour pictures of authentic objects, etc. that support the textual descriptions. I easily recommend it as Reference literature to all those truly interested in handwritten manuscripts and medieval illumination.
