The Luttrell Psalter is one of the British Library's greatest treasures. It is an illuminated manuscript that was commissioned by Sir Geoffrey Luttrell (1276-1345), a wealthy landowner who lived at Irnham, Lincolnshire. Planned and made over a number of years between 1330 and 1345, it was created by several artists who probably all joined the Luttrell household for the duration of their work. As a result of their close connection with the patron's family and everyone else alongside whom they lived, it is one of the most personalised manuscripts, providing a unique glimpse of medieval life. Famous for its long series of scenes of life in rural England, with incredibly detailed depictions people at work and play, other pages often reveal an illuminator with a lively imagination and marvellous sense of colour. Very few people before now have had the opportunity to turn and admire these 624 wonderful pages. This full-sized facsimile edition gives everyone the chance to do so. As a helpful aid to the reader, the volume also contains a scholarly commentary by Michelle Brown which tells the story of the manuscript in great detail and includes a folio-by-folio description. PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A BRITISH LIBRARY EDITION.

Folio (350 x 240 mm), 688pp., 624 illustrations, orig. cloth, spine slightly shaken, d.w. a very good copy. The Luttrell Psalter is one of the British Library's supreme treasures. It has more than 600 pages and the delicate task of recreating this masterpiece of English medieval art so accurately into a complete full size facsimile edition has taken well over a year to achieve. Every stage of the production process has been subjected to the greatest attention to detail, from reproducing the subtle effect of fine worked gold and silver that decorate the pages of the manuscript, to finding a modern paper which matches the weight and feel of the original animal skin vellum pages. This is a huge book in every sense: it measures over 7 cm in depth (and 36 cm long by 24.5 cm wide), and weighs just over 5 kilos. The volume also contains a 64-page scholarly commentary by leading medieval manuscripts expert Michelle P. Brown, which details the history of the manuscript and includes a folio-by-folio description.
