IMAGES IN THE MARGINS (THE MEDIEVAL IMAGINATION)
Published by The British Library. 1st UK. 2009
Nearly fine condition. The Medieval Imagination series. An astonishing mix of mundane, playful, absurd, and monstrous beings are found in the borders of European manuscripts from the Middle Ages. Unpredictable, topical, often irreverent, like the newspaper cartoons of today, marginalia - images drawn in the margins of manuscripts - were a source of satire, serious social observation, and amusement for medieval readers. This volume brings these intimately scaled, fascinating images to a wider audience. Matt pictorial boards. Colour illustrations.
A lovley copy.
