Opis

The first book-length study of the fifteen surviving Little Gidding bible concordances, this book examines the visual culture of print in seventeenth-century England through the lens of one extraordinary family and their hand-made biblical manuscripts. Contrary to the long-held view that the English Reformation led to a decline in the importance of the religious image, this volume demonstrates the ongoing vitality of religious prints in early modern England as instruments for thinking.
