"Illuminated manuscripts are among the most beautiful, precious and mysterious works
of Western art. Before the printing press was invented, books were produced by hand
and their illustration, using brightly colored pigments and gold embellishments, was
a labor of love and an act of piety in itself. ... 'Illuminated Manuscripts' describes
the origin and history of medieval illumination, covering the artists and their techniques
and the patrons who commissioned them. It explains the subject matter found in medieval
works, such as saints and Bible stories and the use of ornamental flourishes, and
is illustrated with many fine examples of the genre including the Book of Kells and
the Belles Heures of the Duc de Berry."
