About this Item
4to (28 cm), XXIV, 266 pp, 55 plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. From the publisher's description: "Mont St. Michel was refounded as a Benedictine community in 966, and a series of manuscripts survives from its scriptorium which makes it possible to trace the development of scripts and illumination for the next 100 years. Important experiments were made, the study of which contributes to our understanding of the origins of Romanesque book painting. The scriptorium was eclectic, using Carolingian, Anglo-Saxon, Ottonian and north French models, but from these it produced its own innovations which were important for the future.".
