Beskrivning
This book is a collection of specially-commissioned art-historical essays on the theme of manuscript studies by some of the world's leading art historians and curators of manuscripts. It is expected to be even more successful and well-received than the comparable volume from University of Exeter Press, The Art of the Book: Its Place in Medieval Worship, edited by Bernard J. Muir. The contributors are writing on their particular area of manuscript study, with the Wharncliffe Hours and the Book of Kells among the important manuscripts discussed. Their essays are written in honour of Margaret M. Manion, Professor Emeritus, Department of Fine Arts, University of Melbourne. Margaret Manion has an international reputation for her work in the field of art history. Her many publications include a facsimile edition of The Wharncliffe Hours (Thames & Hudson) and Medieval and Renaissance Illuminated Manuscripts in Australian Collections (with Vera F. Vines, Thames & Hudson).

... this is a magnificent feast of a volume, handsomely printed on coated paper and lavishly illustrated. The colour printing is of very high quality, doing ample justice not only to the reproductions of medieval images but also to the striking painting... Given the physical beauty of Reading Texts and Images, it is a pleasure to record that the scholarly essays within it are also of the highest quality. The contributors ... include some of the best-known names in the field of medieval manuscript studies. Bulletin of International Medieval Research, no. 11
