First edition. A fine copy. Magnificently illustrated with 87 examples from the world renowned collection of the Pierpont Morgan Library, this is the first book on illuminated manuscripts written specifically for younger readers. We consider it an excellent general introduction to the subject for adults as well. It is a concise text that gives a very well-rounded picture of its subject. Full color.
