Review(s)

"This is an absorbing volume, kaleidoscopic in nature." (R. Watson, in: AMARC Newsletter, no. 58, May 2012, p. 24-26)

"Après une très utile liste des travaux de Nigel Morgan, ce volume réunit un bel ensemble de contributions. (...) Par l'ampleur des travaux réunis, ce volume d'hommage est à la hauteur d'un collègue éminent, qui continue avec bonheur sa magnifique contribution à l'histoire de l'art médiévale en général, et du manuscrit enluminé en particulier." (Christian Heck, dans Bulletin monumental, Tome 170-4, 2012, p. 365-367)
