Chretien de Troyes was France's great medieval poet--inventor of the genre of courtly romance and popularizer of the Arthurian legend. The forty-four surviving manuscripts of his work (ten of them illuminated) pose a number of questions about who used these books and in what way. In Sealed in Parchment , Sandra Hindman scrutinizes both text and images to reveal what the manuscripts can tell us about medieval society and politics.
