Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. xxv, 483 pp. followed by 88 pp. of color plates; xix, 558 pp. followed by 40 pp. of color plates (some with more than one image on a page); quarter red cloth, black cloth sides, black spine labels with gilt titles; small folios. The work incorporates contributions by Adelaide Bennett, Jean F. Pre…ston, William P. Stoneman, and the Index of Christian Art. The entries provide an impressive amount of scholarly detail for over 400 manuscripts, including those in scope from the Robert Garrett, Robert Taylor, Grenville Kane, and Princeton Medieval and Manuscripts Collections, and even Cotsen Children's Library. Entries contain subsections covering content, physical description (covering, where applicable, material and layout, collation, script, decoration, binding), provenance, and a bibliography. Very good set overall; Volume I near fine, with light crease to spine label; Volume II shows a small light bump to upper corner affecting about a quarter of the text pages (which are otherwise fine) and a few small scuffs on its lower cover.
