<p>Other than religious architecture and the sculpture that was part of it, the illuminated Bible was the major artistic form in the West during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Oddly enough, the Bibles have received little critical attention, even though a large number of beautifully illustrated ones have survived the ages. This lavish and authoritative book is the first to survey the art of the Romanesque illuminated Bible and to describe its development. Anyone with an interest in medieval or religious art will want to own this splendid book.</p>

The first of Harvey Miller's multi-volume Survey of Manuscripts Illuminated in France provides a definitive reference work for the intensively creative Romaneseque period. This book, produced to the usual high standard, amply illustrates the extent, variety and quality of the manuscripts. An introductory essay is followed by a complete catalogue of the manuscripts and 374 photos.

Studies in Medieval Art and Interpretation

This selection of articles by Walter Cahn, the Carnegie Professor of the History of Art at Yale University, embraces work by the author that spans a period of some thirty years. Professor Cahn's interests here represented range from the illustration of the lost 10th-century Prayer Book of the late Carolingian Queen Emma to a 15th-century guide to the churches of Rome from the library of Margaret of York, Duchess of Burgundy, though their primary focus is Romanesque art of Latinate Europe in the 11th and the 12th century. Somewhat against the grain of academic specialization, the author is equally at home in sculpture, painting, book illumination, and fundamental questions of methodology. Among the topics that particularly engage his attention in this collection are connections between art and Biblical exegesis, Cistercian art and imagery, the role of art in the expression of orthodox and heretical beliefs, and perhaps most insistently, the figuration of religious, social and political structures within the pictorial languages of the medieval world.
