Illuminated manuscripts are deeply satisfying in a number of respects. Of considerable beauty in themselves, they also reveal how men and women once lived: what they wore, ate, wrote, read, and thought about---their worldview. From the glorification of God to cautions against sin to celebrations of the miraculous to astronomy, botany, and medicine; from advice on the care of dogs to lurid scenes of martyrdom to rude or romantic illustrated fiction, illuminated manuscripts speak to the medieval citizen's interests and concerns. 40 full-color reproductions from the Morgan Library.
