Its autograph (Ghent, University Library, MS 92), a masterpiece of Romanesque book art and one of the most complicated manuscripts ever made, has been studied by the author for almost half a century. The present book is the culmination of this research and provides a detailed codicological and textual analysis, showing how this wonderful book was put together and which are the hidden ideas Lambert sought to develop in its hundreds of texts and pictures dealing with astronomy, geography, natural history, history, religion and countless other subjects.The book is illustrated with some 100 colour reproductions and numerous diagrams of quire structures. Three tables help the reader to understand the author?s argument, and full indices give access to the text and provide the basis for further investigation of individual chapters and pictures. |  Aggiungi al Carrello |

Vol. IV of the series Autographa Medii
Aevi is a study of the original manuscript of the Liber Floridus
(Ghent, University Library, MS 92). This encyclopedical compilation of
the early twelfth century (finished 1121) was composed, written and
illustrated by an obscur canon of the Chapter of our Lady in Saint-Omer
(France, dépt. du Pas de Calais). It may be considered one of the
earliest illustrated medieval encyclopedias and its maps, diagrams and
pictures (some of them masterpieces of Romanesque art) are
world-famous. Due to its apparent lack of logical structure, however,
Lambert's work has often been dismissed as an unorganized
compilation. Against this still prevailing opinion the present book
shows that the encyclopedia is the expression of a highly personal
global view of the world. It was to be a brilliant synthesis, pervaded
by an emphatic sense of symbolism, allegory and eschatology. The close
codicological and textual analysis of the complete work shows also why
Lambert failed to achieve his object in its full splendour; how
especially external circumstances have caused a gradual weakening of
the original train of thought as well as of the original beauty of the
manuscript. The book focuses on the fundamental links between
Lambert's thoughts and the material structures he had to create to
give them their place in his book. Prof. Derolez has specialized for
more than thirty years into the study of the Liber Floridus. In 1968 he
edited the original manuscript in a celebrated facsimile and text
edition. In 1978 his doctoral thesis on Lambert's work was
published. The present work is the synthesis of a life's research.
For the first time the complicated genesis of the Liber Floridus is
unraveled in an international language. The reader can easily follow
the argument thanks to the fluent style and the numerous diagrams in
the text; the latter demonstrate the making of the gatherings into
their present complicated structures as ne
