Description:
Oxford: Phaidon, 1995 4to (29 cm), 256 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (minor shelf-wear). "This entertaining and authoritative book is the first to provide a general introduction to the whole subject of the making of books from the Dark Ages to the invention of printing and beyond. Christopher de Hamel vividly describes the widely different circumstances in which manuscripts were created, from the earliest monastic Gospel Books to university textbooks, secular romances, Books of Hours and classical texts for humanist bibliophiles. As the story unfolds the wonderful variety of manuscripts and their illumination is revealed, and many fundamental questions are answered -- who wrote the books, what texts they contained, who read them, how they were made and what purposes they served. With its lively narrative and many new and superb illustrations, this new edition of a much-praised book provides the perfect introduction to a large and fascinating subject." (from the blurb)
