Table of ContentsReviews<em>Manuscripta Illuminata: Approaches to Understanding Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts</em> is an engaging addition to the scholarship on the illuminated book and its place in medieval and early modern artistic, religious and intellectual culture.</p> . . . Among the rewards of <em>Manuscripta Illuminata</em> is the opportunity it affords to learn about Princeton s rich holdings of western European material. One can only admire the personification of Music energetically tuning her lute in a miniature in the early 15th-century Milanese <em>Kane Suetonius</em>, and marvel at the tiny folios of the early 14th-century French <em>Chambly Hours</em>, with their postage-stamp-size minatures. Readers will appreciate Sandler s topical reading of the image of the suicide of a knight in an early 14th-century English psalter, and Moodey s piquant comparison of manuscripts illuminated in grisaille and semi-grisaille, including Princeton s late 15th-century Bruges prayerbook, to artificially distressed jeans. </p> . . . Generously illustrated in (nearly) full colour, <em>Manuscripta Illuminata</em> attests to the vitality of manuscript study and its centrality to cultural history. </p> Kathryn A.
