A MEDIEVAL CHRISTMAS

LINCOLN, FRANCES (1996) A MEDIEVAL CHRISTMAS. LONDON: BRITISH LIBRARY. DE 26X17 CM. COM 22 PÁGS. ILUST. E.

The well-loved Christmas story is recreated here in all its medieval majesty, from the deep blues and greens and rich reds of Horenbout's Nativity, to the marvelously detailed Annunciation to the Shepherds by the Master of the Duke of Bedford. The text is taken from William Tyndale's masterly New Testament translation and is gloriously illustrated using illuminated manuscripts from the permanent collection of the British Library.

With a pictorial index at the end of the book to provide details about the manuscripts and illustrators.
