B879u"What is a historiated initial? What are canon tables? What is a drollery? This revised edition--part of the popular Looking At series--offers concise definitions of many elements of illuminated manuscripts, demystifying the techniques, processes, materials, terminology, and styles used in the making of these precious books. Updated and refreshed throughout, and beautifully illustrated with images of important manuscript illuminations from the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum and beyond, this volume is an essential resource for students, scholars, and readers who wish a deeper understanding and enjoyment of illuminated manuscripts and medieval book production."--
