Professor Nordenfalk's work over the last forty years has
represented perhaps the most important effort made in these decades
to clarify the development of book illumination in the late antique
and early medieval periods. His papers on late antique and insular
manuscript painting in particular are recognized as standard works
on the subject. This volume brings together twenty-three of the
author's most significant papers on manuscript illumination,
covering the period from the origins of the art in late antiquity
to the flowering of insular and Ottonian illumination. Seven
articles cover the late antique period, seven subsequent papers
deal with insular manuscripts, and six are concerned with Ottonian
illumination. All of the studies have been reset, and have been
extensively revised by the author just prior to his death in 1992.
There is a comprehensive index.
