Forms, Iconography, Materials, Use, and Cataloguing

Bilotta, Maria Alessandra (ed.)

The essays in this volume provide an overview of the current research on illuminated legal manuscripts in Europe. They focus on cataloguing, digitization, and the materiality of these manuscripts. Bringing together renowned experts on the subject, the contributions reflect on the methodological implications, as well as the practical and theoretical challenges that this research entails. Multiple case studies from different European regions have been analysed through an interdisciplinary approach, to overcome their geographical limits, and to open up innovative and fruitful research tracks.
