| Medieval Herbals: The Illustrative Traditions by Minta Collins | ||
 |
In
this detailed study of illuminated medieval herbals, based on much new
research, the author considers the illustrative traditions represented
in the surviving manuscripts produced over a wide area between 512 to
1450. The evolution of the plant illustrations and the
introduction of other figurative images are discussed, along with with
questions of provenance, production, ownership and function.
Arabic and Greek herbals are included. It would be nice if there
were more color plates, but there are some, and there are a goodly number
of black and white reproductions.
