Published by the Index of Christian Art in association with Penn State Press. In this volume, a group of distinguished scholars makes skilled use of the methodology to examine a number of significant medieval manuscripts, including the Morgan Picture Bible. Advertising.

Book News Annotation:

Published in honor of John Plummer, the 16 essays of this collection address questions of word and image in medieval manuscript painting, in particular those in the Morgan Picture Bible in the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, itself the subject of an exhibition held at Princeton U. (home of the Index for Christian Art) in 2004. The contributors are senior scholars in the field. The volume is slightly oversized (8.5x11"), and concludes with a thick section of b&w and some color plates. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
