Description
Guide Review - A Medieval Miscellany by Judith HerrinA Medieval Miscellany is a collection of excerpts from medieval texts, beautifully illustrated by illuminations from medieval manuscripts. Topics vary widely and are accompanied by incidental decorations as well as appropriate illustrations. Altogether, the contents and presentation create the feel of a medieval manuscript in modern book form.
While the book has a wealth of information, the topics are presented in no particular order and there is no index. A Medieval Miscellany is more for browsing and enjoying than for use as reference. Related Guide Picks |
