This is a fascinating study of twelve illuminated manuscripts. Renowned historian Christopher de Amel invites the reader into an intimate conversation with the medieval texts to discover what they tell us about nearly a thousand years of history as well as the modern world. Amel introduces us to kings, queens, saints, scribes, artists, librarians, thieves, merchants, and collectors. He takes readers on journeys full of fascinating detail through time by these incredibly valuable artifacts and shows us how they were copied, how they were closely intertwined with politics, how they were considered objects of supreme beauty and symbols of national identity, and who owned or coveted them (and how we can now recognize and define that). The book is published with the support of the electronic academic scholarly journal Vox medii aevi.
