Download or read book Illuminated Manuscripts written by Richard Hayman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illuminated manuscripts are among the most beautiful, precious and mysterious works of Western art. Before the printing press was invented, books were produced by hand and their illustration using brightly coloured pigments and gold embellishments was a labour of love and an act of piety in itself. The results are stunning. The works emanating from the scriptoria of monasteries were mainly religious texts, including illuminated bibles, psalters, and works for private devotion known as books of hours. Illuminated Manuscripts describes the origin and history of illumination in the Middle Ages, covering the artists and their techniques, and the patrons who commissioned them. It explains the subject matter found in medieval works, such as saints and Bible stories and the use of ornamental flourishes, and is illustrated with many fine examples of the genre including the Lindisfarne Gospels and the Book of Kells.

Download or read book Catalogue of the Fifty Manuscripts and Printed Books Bequeathed to the British Museum by Alfred H Huth Classic Reprint written by British Museum and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Fifty Manuscripts and Printed Books Bequeathed to the British Museum by Alfred H. Huth These figures in no way represent the proportions of these two categories of books in the Huth Library. The Library was essentially a library of printed books; but the few manuscripts which it included were selected with taste and discrimination, and were worth more than all except a few of the printed books. In their case, moreover, the question of duplication could not arise. The importance of the printed books received under the bequest is shown in Mr. Pollard's Introduction but it will be convenient to say aword here about the manuscripts. One of them (no. X) was selected on account of the coloured engravings which it contains, by the artist known as the Master of the Berlin Passion. The others all represent various phases in the art of miniature only one, the unique copy of the romance of Merlin, could have been included on the ground of its text. One is of English workmanship, five of French, one German, one Dutch, two Flemish, and two Italian. Since the British Museum already possesses by far the finest collection of English illuminated manuscripts in existence, this preponderance of foreign examples is entirely to its advantage. The one English example (no. III) is, however, one of the most valuable, though not the most generally attractive, in the collection. It is a Psalter, of the last quarter of the thirteenth century, decorated in the calendar with representa tions of the occupations of the several months, and in the body of the manuscript with full-page miniatures, historiated initials, and decorative borders. The whole belongs to that fine period when the miniaturist was approaching the full mastery of his art, but when the amount of decoration allowed to the page was still restrained within comparatively narrow limits.
