Summary: Anyone who admires beautiful books will have to own this one
Review: This is a detailed study of an illuminated manuscript of the late 15th century. The primary value of the book is the reproductions of the complete manuscript which are of outstanding quality. They rival those of much more expensive facsimiles. The beauty and craftsmanship are evident on every page.

Eric Inglis' commentary demonstrates a concerted effort to produce a detailed analysis of the artistic milieu which created this beautiful work of art. The commentary also provides a basic background to those who are new to such works of art. Readers interested in medieval art will find this a wonderful introduction to a facet of the medieval book arts.
