This book focuses on the Ashburnham Pentateuch, an early medieval
illuminated manuscript of the Old Testament whose pictures are
among the earliest surviving and most extensive biblical
illustrations. Dorothy Verkerk shows how the lively and complex
illustrations of Genesis and Exodus, which incorporate references
to contemporary life, were used to explain important church
teachings. She provides a key to understanding the relationship
between the text and pictures. Verkerk also argues that the
manuscript was created in Italy, thereby solving a mystery that has
baffled scholars for the last century and demonstrating that early
medieval Italian artists were capable of complex innovations in the
field of the visual arts.
