Synopsis
Excerpt from Art Treasures of the Lambeth Library: A Description of the Illuminated Mauscripts, Etc This Manual, pretending to no deep bibliographical research, or skilled art-knowledge, appears with the one aim of giving a faithful description of the "Art Treasures" in Lambeth Library. Under this title are comprised the illuminated MSS. and some of the illustrated books which have never been Specially described, and are only generally known by the Catalogue of the MSS. compiled by Dr. J. H. Todd, and published in 1812. These examples of illuminated art, and their preservation in the Archiepiscopal Library, seem to demand for them greater attention than they have yet received, and this book is now offered as an assistance to the artist, archaeologist, and general student. To His Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury I beg to express sincere gratitude for allowing drawings to be made of some of the best examples of illuminated art, and also for the permission to publish this work.
