In 2006, 500 years after his death, the Royal Library of Belgium
organised an exhibition revealing treasures from the era of Philip
the Fair (1478-1506), last duke of Burgundy. This volume reunites
most of the papers delivered at a conference held during the
exhibition, increased with four new chapters. Ten specialists from
Belgium, the Netherlands and the United States discuss the book
market and its place in society in this transitional period when
manuscripts and printed books were produced and used next to one
another. The contributions are organised in pairs around five
topics, whereby in each case one author treats manuscripts and the
other printed books: Philip the Fair and his books, art in books,
music in books, politics in books, the book market. Contributions
by: Renaud Adam, Jean-Marie Cauchies, Marieke van Delft, Lieve De
Kesel, Samuel Mareel, Zoe Saunders, Susie Speakman Sutch, Herman
Pleij, Rob Wegman, and Hanno Wijsman.
Hanno Wijsman is postdoctoral researcher at Leiden
University. His research focuses on the cultural, social, and
political history of later medieval and sixteenth century Europe
with special attention to manuscript studies and book history in
the Netherlands and France.

This interdisciplinary study presents a two-part survey of the
production and ownership of luxury manuscripts in the late-medieval
Netherlands.
Part I analyses a corpus of 3,700 illustrated manuscripts
produced between 1400 and 1550 in the Low Countries. The result is
a cornucopia of information about many aspects of manuscript
production: chronological, geographical and gender distribution,
the genres of texts, the languages used, the dimensions of books,
the number of illustrations, and the relationship between the
making of hand-written and printed books.
Part II examines the libraries of the pre-eminent owners of
illustrated manuscripts in the Netherlands: the ducal family and
the noble elite. The great bibliophile Philip the Good set an
example of book collecting that was emulated by the nobles of the
court, creating a typical Burgundian fashion in book
ownership by which a small elite demonstrated a well defined group
identity.
Luxury Bound charts this new vogue in books and
reading, an important aspect of cultural change in the
late-medieval Low Countries.
Hanno Wijsman is Researcher in Medieval History at Leiden
University, focusing on the cultural history of the fourteenth to
the sixteenth century, with special attention to books and
libraries in the Low Countries and France.
