| Abstract | These three papers offer new interpretations of visual culture in medieval manuscripts. Paper -a examines a hitherto unknown manuscript which sheds new light on the transmission of art and scribe between German monastery of Lund and the archdiocese. Paper -b looks at accumulations of illustrations in the Postilla litteralis super totam bibliam which blur the lines between Jewish and Christian art. Paper -c offers a unique comparison of illustrations in Britsh Library, Sloane MS 1977 and a Book of Hours by the same artist for their unique medical content. |
