Originally published in 1991, Medieval Texts and Images is a
collection of essays which critically examines medieval
manuscripts. The book contains a wide range of contributions, the
first examines the relationship of the Legende Doree and its
relationship to the aristocratic patrons who commissioned these
manuscripts; the second scrutinises the tradition of French
illumination as it was developed in Paris in the so-called Bedford
Master's workshop in the 1420s. The text examines liturgical texts
of the medieval period and written and liturgical contributions to
Renaissance art. Other contributions include an investigation into
the written scroll within the painted composition, comparing
various compositional and thematic functions in the depiction of a
Crucifixion and a study of Christian vernacular poetry. This
collection provides a comprehensive overview of the use of text and
image in medieval literature.
