Summary
[edit]DescriptionGospels, Binding, Walters Manuscript W.526, Upper board outside.jpg |
English: Perhaps sixteenth century; tooled dark red goatskin over squared wooden boards; ornate foliate designs and roundels containing interlace inscribed on the head and fore-edge
This volume is primarily remarkable for its excellently preserved early (but not original) binding, as well as the peculiar style of its miniatures. The manuscript opens with an unusual, icon-like prefatory image of the Virgin and Child, possibly added at an early stage for use in private devotion, and is followed by Evangelist portraits facing ornate headpieces. These illuminations are important examples of non-Constantinopolitan Byzantine art. |
