Seller's Description:
New in Near Fine dust jacket. 0295975911. Hard cover is red. Red DJ has white lettering on front and spine. Also includes a color illumination on the front. This is a NEW book, still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. Extensively illustrated with over 100 b/w pictures, and one in color. "Illuminated for Heinrich II of Hesse in 1334, the Kassel Willehalm Codex differs from other secular manuscripts of the Gothic period by its lavish illumination cycle and the firm identification of its patron and date of execution. In order to understand the meaning this manuscript held for its patron and the role of the codex in his Kunstpolitik, Joan A. Holladay examines the ways in which the illuminations interpret the text they accompany and places the codex in the larger contexts of the family's commissions and the patron's political actions and ambitions. The identified patron allows this manuscript to be set against the family's commissions of the two previous generations in a way that broadly illuminates artistic practice and purpose at small courts in the later Middle Ages. Students and scholars of Gothic art as well as specialists in medieval German literature will find new and stimulating material in this volume." Printed on alkaline paper. Oversized, 4#.; College Art Association Monographs on the Fine Arts Series; B&W Illustrations; 0.75 x 11.5 x 9 Inches; xii, 247 pages; Book and cover have light bumping. 3/8" tear in DJ and board, at bottom of back, through the publisher's shrinkwrap.
