Seller's Description:
VG-(Wraps are lightly edgeworn/scuffed/smudged; textblock edges are toned; page edges are lightly toned; interior is clean; binding is solid. ) Red wraps with color illustration and white lettering; 221 pp.; richly illustrated. "This book is an introduction to one of the most significant art-forms of the Middle Ages by one of the world's greatest authorities on the subject, Professor Otto Pacht. It is not a history of book illumination in the conventional sense but a unique account of facts and ideas gathered during several decades of teaching and research. Based on lectures given at the University of Vienna, the present text not only examines all types of decoration and illumination from the point of view of format and style, but also goes far beyond the factual. The author explains the basic vocabulary and concepts by which this art-form is to be understood, and offers deep insights into the fundamental Philosophy, theology, technology and cultural ambience that underlie the production of book illumination throughout its long history."--back cover.
