*Beschrijving*		Reprint of the 1905 edition. This book provides an illustrated history of this practice, from the Greek and Roman illumination through the Byzantine period up to the golden age of the great monasteries. It is filled with anedotes and rich details about the materials, symbolism and system of patronage behind these fabulous texts. The invention of the printing press marked the end of an era in wich books were painstakingly transcribed by hand on to vellum, at the behest of rich patrons.
