Comments & Item Features
First Edition. Language: English. ISBN: No ISBN.
Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 194 pages; Physical description: xiii, 194 p. : col. illus. ; 25 cm. Summary: This volume examines a number of English manuscripts of the 15th and early 16th centuries never previously studied and all of which make a unique contribution to art history in this period. Subjects: Illumination of books and manuscripts, Medieval -- England -- Renaissance -- 15th and 16th centuries. Review: "With few exceptions, late-medieval book decoration of English execution or use has attracted very little critical attention. . . . [Kathleen] Scott is the only scholar ever to have surveyed the bulk of the surviving material, and her work in the field has been consistently of a pioneering character. "Tradition and Innovation" is thoroughly in that vein. . . . A lucid sense of what will interest a historically minded audience . . . contributes heavily to an important, readable, and handsomely produced book." --Julian M. Luxford, Speculum.
