<p>This collection of tributes to Kathleen L. Scott honors a colleague and friend whose scholarship will shape our understanding of the fifteenth-century English manuscript book for generations to come. The fifteen essays are written by eminent scholars from the fields of art history, palaeography, codicology, and English literature. Issues touched upon include: questions of manuscript design and illustration; borders, penwork and other minor decoration; literary manuscripts of the works of Chaucer, Gower and Lydgate; text-image relations; the book owners and collectors; little-known manuscripts, rolls, and other unusual textual artifacts. Throughout, the contributors testify to English manuscripts produced in the fourteenth and fifteenth century and the ingenuity of the scribes and artists who made them. Above all, the essays in this book reflect the range of Kathleen Scott's own contributions to book history, and they provide a fresh look at the readers, makers, and illuminators who produced handwritten manuscripts during this period. 292p, 200 b/w illus.
