Patrons, Authors And Workshops Books And Book Production in Paris Around

This volume invokes a cross-disciplinary approach to the study of late medieval books and book production in Paris, from the troubled years of the early 15th century onwards. It shows the extent to which such activity was able to flourish even against the backdrop of the endemic struggle between Burgundians and Armagnacs, or the subsequent English invasion which led to Agincourt and the regency of Bedford. Extensive coverage is given to the key role played by the stationer or librarius, to the author as scribe or copyist, and also to the development of commercial production. The volume concludes with four essays offering insights into the work of particular artists and illuminators.Croenen, Godfried is the author of 'Patrons, Authors And Workshops Books And Book Production in Paris Around', published 2006 under ISBN 9789042917071 and ISBN 9042917075.
