Gothic Manuscripts 1285-1385 I, Text and 450 Illustrations, Ii, Catalogue

English manuscript painting achieved great mastery during the period from 1280 to 1400 with the development of an intrinsically native style, exemplified by the East Anglian school, that flourished throughout London and the provinces during the 14th century. Although ecclesiastical and private devotional needs largely determined the style and type of book, courtly and aristocratic patronage provided French, Belgian, and Italian influences that are also evident in the manuscripts of this period. This catalogue and study of 158 Gothic manuscripts--some of them famous, and all outstanding masterpieces--demonstrates these links and developments in the illuminated style.Sandler, Lucy F. is the author of 'Gothic Manuscripts 1285-1385 I, Text and 450 Illustrations, Ii, Catalogue' with ISBN 9780199210374 and ISBN 0199210373.
