Review Quotes: [This book] is, first and foremost, a delight to the eye. Dazzling, in fact, from its beautiful and clever cover...to its exuberant wealth of quality color reproductions of beautiful medieval manuscript pages of all sizes and shapes.--Ayelet Even-Ezra "Manuscript Studies" (6/29/2024 12:00:00 AM)
