Scribes and Illuminators by Christopher De Hamel |
 |
|||
| This is part of a marvelous series on medieval craftsmen published by the University of Toronto Press. Actually, the author covers all the trades that were involved in the production of a manuscript: The first chapter is paper and parchment makers, the next is ink makers and scribes and the last chapter is illuminators, binders and booksellers. |
| The book is
short, but packed with interesting and useful information. The
author, Christopher De Hamel, is a recognized authority in the field of
illuminated manuscripts. There are a great many pictures, color
and black & white, most of which are not commonly reproduced.
