Cambridge University Library's collection of illuminated
manuscripts is of international significance. It originates in the
medieval university and stands alongside the holdings of the
colleges and the Fitzwilliam Museum. The University Library
contains major European examples of medieval illumination from the
ninth to the sixteenth centuries, with acknowledged masterpieces of
Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance book art, as well as illuminated
literary texts, including the first complete Chaucer manuscript.
This catalogue provides scholars and researchers easy access to the
University Library's illuminated manuscripts, evaluating the
importance of many of them for the very first time. It contains
descriptions of famous manuscripts, for example the Life of Edward
the Confessor attributed to Matthew Paris, as well as hundreds of
lesser-known items. Beautifully illustrated throughout, the
catalogue contains descriptions of individual manuscripts with
up-to-date assessments of their style, origins and importance,
together with bibliographical references.
