Publisher's Synopsis
With extensive illustrated essays by Jeffrey Hamburger and Margaret Manion, accompanied by papers presented by sixteen further scholars in the field, this 256 page publication presents a rich range of studies on the subject of Medieval books and also elaborates on the extremely successful exhibition held in Melbourne in 2008. This new book is lavishly illustrated with color images relating to the papers, but also reproduces many of the works featured in the exhibition and its catalog - particularly medieval books from Australian and New Zealand collections.
