About This Item
London: The Bibliographical Society & The British Library, 2002 8vo (24.5 cm), 132 pp. Laminated wrappers (top corner slightly creased). Apart from illustrations, borders are the most significant and frequently found decorative elements in late medieval English manuscripts. Border styles evolve at a faster pace chronologically than scribe work, making systematic analysis and comparison crucial for accurately dating manuscripts. Understanding the hierarchy of borders is advantageous for scholars seeking insight into the medieval response to a given text. However, despite their importance, borders have received little detailed study until now. This work aims to fill that gap by presenting a century of English manuscripts, accompanied by 50 key images for illustration and analysis.
