This is a new volume in a continuing series of publications listing
and identifying all illustrations contained in English manuscripts
from the time of Chaucer to Henry VIII. This was an important
period in the history of English book production, and the range of
subject-matter illustrated is of significance to historians of art,
religion, literature, costume, natural science, and social custom.
The present volume catalogues manuscripts in institutional
collections in New York City, including the collections of the
Morgan Library. The catalogue contains entries for 79 manuscripts
and notes the subject-matter of every illustration in each
manuscript, from full-page miniatures and historiated initials to
marginalia, added drawings and nota bene signs. A comprehensive
index of pictorial subjects provides readers with complete
references to the visual material with thematic groupings making
the following categories easily accessible: animals, birds, Christ,
costume, kings, medical and musical instruments,
occupations/professions, personifications, saints, Virgin Mary,
weapons and women. The volume also includes a User's Guide, an
extensive glossary of subjects and terms and indexes of
authors/texts and manuscripts with coats of arms.
