About This Item
Clarendon Press, 1982 4to (28.5 cm), XXV, 180 pp, 331 illustrations on unpaginated plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. From the publisher's description: "During the High Middle Ages it became the practice to ornament Bible manuscripts with 'historiated' initials, that is, to place figural scenes within initial letters of each book of the Bible. This book is an original study of this imagery in Bibles produced in England and France in the 12th and 13th centuries. The illustrations for the fourteen Pauline letters for a considerable portion of the entire body of the imagery in a Bible, and because the scholars of the High Middle Ages took a special interest in Paul's letters, the study of their iconography can provide unexpected, at times, delightful, isight into medieval ways of thinking about the Bible."
