Review(s)
“Overall, this is a valuable contribution to the study of illuminated manuscripts and provides points of comparison for high and late medieval codicological scholarship generally. The scholars whose work is presented in the volume deserve double-congratulations: first, because they wrote in English or French, rather than their native Portuguese; second, because they provide thoughtful, if specific, commentaries on a variety of important textual subjects.” (Kyle Lincoln, in The Medieval Review, 2017.12.03)
“In conclusione, il volume (…) rappresenta un tentativo riuscito di offrire un’ampia panoramica sugli interessi e le metodologie di lavoro degli studiosi che operano presso centri di ricerca portoghesi nel campo dei manoscritti miniati medievali e costituisce inoltri un sicuro riferimento per ulteriori indagini e approfondimenti, anche per la ricca bibliografi a che accompagna gli otto saggi.” (Marcello Moscone, in Evphrosyne, XLV, p. 674)
Summary
In the most recent years a group of young researchers has given a new impetus to the study of Book Illumination in Portugal, promoting national and international research that focuses on understanding illuminated manuscripts in both their aesthetics and material dimensions, as well as the relationship between text and image. The development of interdisciplinary research thanks, in part, to strategic partnerships between the Humanities and the domain of Exact Science has been established to address new issues raised by the need of more comprehensive and wide studies around the illuminated manuscript.
This volume gives thus light to the most important contributions of these new approaches, including new technical studies of pigments in manuscripts of the fund of the Monastery of Alcobaça and three copies of Hugh of Fouilloy’s Book of Birds, inquiries concerning a mismounted mappamundi in the Lorvão Beatus, a study of two southern French legal manuscripts, the image of the artist in astrological iconography, problems raised by two books of hours in the National Library of Portugal, and penwork decoration in fi fteenthcentury Hebrew manuscripts.
The authors of the volume belong to three Portuguese academic institutions. Maria Adelaide Miranda, Alicia Miguélez Cavero, Catarina Fernandes Barreira, Maria Alessandra Bilotta, Ana Lemos and Luís Ribeiro are integrated members of the Institute of Medieval Studies of the Nova University of Lisbon; Maria João Melo, Rita Castro, Conceição Casanova, Vania Solange Muralhas e Rita Araújo are members of the Department of Conservation and Restoration of the Nova University of Lisbon; Luís Urbano Afonso e Tiago Moita are members of the Institute of History of Art of the University of Lisbon.
