内容简介

This work contains more than 350 designs, of which 256 are letter, that display the glories of extant medieval manuscripts. The illuminated letters and borders not only comprise a practical archive of usable lettering, they also offer a wonderful glimpse of the ancient art of manuscript illumination. Original selection of plates from "The Art of Illuminating As Practised in Europe from the Earliest Times", originally published by Day and Son, London, 1860.
