Noted authority Christopher de Hamel invites the reader into intimate conversations with these texts to explore what they tell us about nearly a thousand years of medieval history--and about the modern world, too. In so doing, de Hamel introduces us to kings, queens, saints, scribes, artists, librarians, thieves, dealers, and collectors. He traces the elaborate journeys that these exceptionally precious artifacts have made through time and shows us how they have been copied, how they have been embroiled in politics, how they have been regarded as objects of supreme beauty and as symbols of national identity, and who has owned them or lusted after them (and how we can tell). From the earliest book in medieval England to the incomparable Book of Kells to the oldest manuscript of the Canterbury Tales, these encounters tell a narrative of intellectual culture and art over the course of a millennium. Two of the manuscripts visited are now in libraries of North America, the Morgan Library in New York and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Part travel book, part detective story, part conversation with the reader, Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts allows us to experience some of the greatest works of art in our culture to give us a different perspective on history and on how we come by knowledge"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000857014 650_0 $$aManuscripts, European. 000857014 650_0 $$aManuscripts, Medieval. 000857014 650_0 $$aIllumination of books and manuscripts, Medieval. 000857014 85200 $$bgen$$hZ106.5.E85$$iD44$$i2017 000857014 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:857014$$pGLOBAL_SET 000857014 980__ $$aBIB 000857014 980__ $$aBOOK
