    Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In the Middle Ages, writing conveyed far more than information. Incontradistinction to the modern separation of image and text and, byimplication, form and content, which was reified with the invention ofprinting, illuminated manuscripts made images out of words. Inconsonance with Christian doctrine, which declared that the Word hadbecome flesh, letters painted on parchment assumed bodily presence tocreate effects of power and persuasion. Painted letters elicited modesof performance, oral recitation and ritual action. Far from calligraphicornament or a medium with prescribed boundaries, medieval letteringreveals itself as a flexible instrument in which various categories ofhuman experience and expression -- the audible, the visible, thesymbolic and the figurative -- come together. Among the topics touchedon by this book are display scripts, monograms, nomina sacra and carminafigurata, epigraphic inscriptions, chrysography and color, speechscrolls, relationships among author, scribe and artist as expressedthrough scripts, the anthropomorphic dimensions of abstract lettering,and the impact of iconic scripts on the reader.

    Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, 26 cm, xxx, 213 pp, ills (some colour). From the blurb - "A pair of leaves recently acquired by Houghton Library presents an opportunity to examine the illuminated sequence composed in honor of John the Evangelist, Verbum dei deo natum, within its broader cultural context. Written and illuminated at the Dominican nunnery of Paradies bei Soest in Westfalia as part of a set of liturgical books that are among the most elaborate of their kind from the entire Middle Ages, the richly decorated fragments promise to transform our understanding of the special place of Christ's 'beloved disciple' in 14th-century art, liturgy, theology, and mysticism. In addition to an introduction to art and liturgy in the Middle Ages, this interdisciplinary collection of essays includes contributions by musicologists, philologists and art historians."

Condizione: nuovo. XXXII+361 p., 91 b/w ill. + 200 colour ill. Brepols, 2021. Languages: English. Hardback - In the fall of 2016 an international scholarly conference accompanied the exhibition Beyond Words: Illuminated Manuscripts in Boston Collections. The speakers were chosen because of their expertise and because they were known to have research underway pertaining to important manuscripts in the exhibition. The aim of both exhibition and conference was to provide a broad overview of the history of patronage and book production over the course of the High and late Middle Ages, to the extent that the eclectic holdings of Boston-area institutions permitted. Most of the papers delivered at the conference have been collected as essays in this abundantly illustrated volume which, while still linked to the exhibition, now has an independent purpose. Just as the essays cover a wide range of topics, all relating to the history of the book, but also, inter alia, to the history of law, liturgy, literature, and libraries as well as to devotion, theology, and art, so too the approaches adopted by the contributors are as varied as the materials they study, ranging from paleography, codicology, and provenance research to painstaking reconstructions of historical patterns of patronage and the interpretative strategies of authors and artists. What results is not simply a wealth of fascinating insights into individual illuminated books, their makers, and their readers, but also an indication of how much remains to be learned about the materials to which the exhibition served as no more than an introduction. Jeffrey F. Hamburger is the Kuno Francke Professor of German Art & Culture at Harvard University. Lisa Fagin Davis is Executive Director of the Medieval Academy of America. Anne-Marie Eze is Director of Scholarly and Public Programs at Houghton Library, Harvard University. Nancy Netzer is the Inaugural Robert L. and Judith T. Winston Director of the McMullen Museum of Art and Professor of Art History, Boston College. William P. Stoneman was Curator of Early Books and Manuscripts at Houghton Library, Harvard University.

    Rilegato. Condition: nuovo. XXV+301 p., 150 colour ill. Brepols, 2021. Languages: English. Hardback - This book argues that the images devised to accompany medieval commentaries, whether on the Bible or on classical texts, made claims to authority, even inspiration, that at times were even more forceful than those made by the texts themselves. Paradoxically, it was in the context of commentaries that modern concep­tions of independent authorship first were forged. Looking beyond author portraits and the genre known as the accessus ad auctores, usually seen as the sites of such claims, this study examines pic­torial programmes in copies of Horace's poetic works, the Glossa ordinaria, the dominant biblical commentary of the first half of the twelfth century, anti-heretical polemics, and Rupert of Deutz's commentary on the Song of Songs. The inventive images fashioned to accompany these works do not merely illustrate or exemplify pre-existing understandings of authorship; rather, they help to shape them at the very moment at which a particular historically situated set of ideas about authorship was itself coming into being. Pictorial prefaces of the twelfth century represent commentaries of their own that work both in concert with the commentaries to which they are attached but also, at times, in ways that go beyond anything that the commentator himself authored or authorized.
