This is the first history of the book in Britain from the Norman
Conquest until the early fifteenth century. The twenty-six expert
contributors to this volume discuss the manuscript book from a
variety of angles: as physical object (manufacture, format, writing
and decoration); its purpose and readership (books for monasteries,
for the Church's liturgy, for elementary and advanced instruction,
for courtly entertainment); and as the vehicle for particular types
of text (history, sermons, medical treatises, law and
administration, music). In all of this, the broader, changing
social and cultural context is kept in mind, and so are the various
connections with continental Europe. The volume includes a full
bibliography and 80 black and white plates.
