Unknown Author

4.9/5 (33153 ratings)

Description:Back in the tenth century A.D., a Spanish monk was commissioned to copy a theological text. The surviving result was the Morgan Beatus, an illuminated manuscript. A thoroughly interesting chapter in this book introduces the history of the manuscript, tracing its physical and stylistic origins. The following chapter goes to the extreme, examining the physical condition and construction in highly technical and complicated language. The true splendor of the book lies in the 131-page reproduction of the Morgan Beatus. The colors are vivid and stunning, with every detail visible and truly beautiful. However, the commentary that follows, augmented by a bibliography and glossary, is aimed at scholars and specialists, recommending this costly and oversized book only for large academic or special libraries with collections on medieval or religious manuscripts.- Karen Ellis, Victoria P.L., Tex.
