商品簡介
The 14 essays of this volume were solicited in honor of the retirement of Hindman, an art historian, from Northwestern U. in Chicago. The essays consider various medieval manuscripts, with a focus on the relationship of text and image and the contexts of the manuscript as a book. Among the manuscripts and illuminators considered are Villard de Honnecourt, Matthew Paris, the Breviary of Anne de Prye, Eleanor of Toledos' Book of Hours, and the Sarajevo Haggadah. Areford (U. of Massachusetts, Boston), Rowe (Fordham U., New York), and other former graduate students of Hindman are joined by more well known figures in manuscript studies, including J.J.G. Alexander, Roger Wieck, and Rowan Watson. The essays are illustrated with b&w plates. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
