Opis

Illuminated History Books in the Anglo-Norman World examines surviving medieval manuscripts from 1066 to 1272 and the people and processes involved in their creation. It addresses the reception and circulation of histories, and the different ways in which imagery and text could be used to create nuanced accounts of the past.

Recenzje

Cleaver examines the relationship between text and image in manuscripts containing historical works written in Anglo-Norman worlds between 1066 and 1272... The author concludes that history books with images were created through the collaboration of authors, copyists and artists. Images represented a tool to highlight particular elements of the text and add meaning to an account, while tables were used to organise material and emphasise themes. Medioevo latino
