Description
Originally published in 1991, Medieval Texts and Images is a collection of essays which critically examines medieval manuscripts.
The book contains a wide range of contributions, the first examines the relationship of the Legende Doree and its relationship to the aristocratic patrons who commissioned these manuscripts; the second scrutinises the tradition of French illumination as it was developed in Paris in the so-called Bedford Master's workshop in the 1420s.
The text examines liturgical texts of the medieval period and written and liturgical contributions to Renaissance art.
Other contributions include an investigation into the written scroll within the painted composition, comparing various compositional and thematic functions in the depiction of a Crucifixion and a study of Christian vernacular poetry.
This collection provides a comprehensive overview of the use of text and image in medieval literature.
