Description

Discover the art and science of medieval manuscripts with this comprehensive guide. Raymond Clemens and Timothy Graham's Introduction to Manuscript Studies offers a unique blend of paleography, codicology, and manuscript illumination, making it an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike.

The book is divided into three sections, each providing a detailed exploration of a key aspect of medieval manuscript production and study. Part 1 delves into the process of creating a manuscript, from preparation to binding, while Part 2 focuses on the skills needed to read and interpret medieval texts. Part 3 examines various manuscript genres, including Bibles, liturgical service books, and charters.

With its richly illustrated pages and in-depth analysis, Introduction to Manuscript Studies is an essential tool for anyone interested in the history of the book before the age of print.
