This collection of articles focuses on medieval books designed for
use in Christian worship, both public and private.
Drawing on examples from French, Italian, and Dutch work of the
fourteenth to the early sixteenth centuries, leading scholars
explore various aspects of the relationship among text, decoration,
and illustration in medieval devotional and liturgical books. they
address the function of such books, their relationship to other
devotional artifacts, and the influence of different types of
patronage on their production.
Featuring over one hundred illustrations -- many of them
previously unavailable to scholars -- this volume is a lively
exploration of the intersection between medieval studies and art
history, and a fascinating study of the social and cultural issues
that influenced the evolution of the book.
