"This jewel of a book, with its wonderful lavish illustrations, introduces the reader to the private, privileged world of medieval miniature painting and illumination from the fourth century AD through to the 17th century. The volume is scrupulously well organised, with an appendix containing an excellent index and glossary of technical terms."The Good Book Guide, LondonUnited Kingdom |

I stumbled upon this book whilst browsing. I couldn't believe my luck! A great book with detail and a gorgeous selection of illuminations. I also like the mini creatures you find at the bottom of each page! Wonderful!KiranSingapore |
