This book is the second in a continuing series of publications
listing and identifying all illustrations contained in English
manuscripts from the time of Chaucer to Henry VIII. This was a
prolific period in the history of English book production, and the
range of subject-matter illustrated is of significance of all
historians, whether of art, religion, costume, natural science, and
above all social custom. The manuscripts in the Bodleian Library,
Oxford, are the first to be catalogued. These are listed here in
alphabetical order of the Library's collections, and the present
volume deals with all the imagery in collections Dodsworth to
Marshall. A third volume will complete all material found in the
Bodleian Library. The catalogue is introduced by a helpful User's
Guide which explains the basis for research and the categories of
subject-matter adopted by the editors. Entries are numbered
consecutively for ease of reference, and every illustration is
noted, from full-page narrative miniatures and historiated initials
to king's heads, marginalia and nota bene signs.
