Recenzje

this monograph skillfully shows both the bene?ts and the appeal of manuscript study... This study's meticulous detailing of material artifacts, its clear explanations of textual features, and its valuable appendixes and image reproductions demystify manuscript research and suggest excitingly all that dusty old volumes might have to tell us. Kimberly Johnson, Brigham Young University, Renaissance Quarterly
