Summary: This volume examines a number of English manuscripts of the 15th and early 16th centuries never previously studied and all of which make a unique contribution to art history in this period. Subjects: Illumination of books and manuscripts. Medieval -- England -- Renaissance -- 15th and 16th centuries. Review: 'With few exceptions. late-medieval book decoration of English execution or use has attracted very little critical attention. [Kathleen] Scott is the only scholar ever to have surveyed the bulk of the surviving material. and her work in the field has been consistently of a pioneering character. 'Tradition and Innovation' is thoroughly in that vein. A lucid sense of what will interest a historically minded audience. contributes heavily to an important. readable. and handsomely produced book.' --Julian M. Luxford. Speculum.Weight in Kg appr.:
