This publication is the first to appear in a major new series of catalogues covering all Western medieval illuminated manuscripts in Cambridge, excluding only the manuscripts in the University Library which are being catalogued separately. The entries are based on the most recent studies undertaken by the Cambridge Illuminations Research Project; they are organised geographically by place of origin, and, within that grouping, listed chronologically. The present two-volume catalogue deals with the early manuscripts produced in the Frankish Kingdoms, the splendid, richly illustrated books from the Northern and Southern Netherlands ranging from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century, illuminations from the Meuse region, manuscripts both in Latin and the vernacular from the late eleventh to the end of the sixteenth century from Germany, and lastly an interesting group of books from Bohemia, Austria and Hungary. The focus of the catalogue is on the illumination, and includes detailed listings of all miniatures, decoration and ornamentation, which are made easily accessible by the inclusion of an exhaustive iconographic index. Entries also include much information on the textual contents of the manuscripts and on their provenance, as well as the most recent bibliographical references. Every manuscript catalogued is also illustrated, generally with several images, providing readers with a corpus of some 750 illustrations which are all reproduced in full colour.

Review "These volumes triumphantly justify 'paper cataloguing'. [...] The authors and sponsors are to be warmly congratulated and urged to complete a series that makes a fundamental contribution to knowledge." (Catherine Reynolds, in The Burlington Magazine CLIII, March 2011, p. 182) On ne peut que se r jouir de la qualit de ces deux premiers volumes et souhaiter la parution rapide des tomes suivants. (A. Ch telet, dans Art et M tiers du Livre 31, D c 2009-f v 2010, p. 91-92) "The first two beautifully designed volumes of Illuminated Manuscripts in Cambridge have all the indices and finding aids (including an index of biblical and non-biblical iconography) to facilitate further research. They are brimming with ideas, are full of dissertation topics, and are testaments to the bounty ? intellectual and sensuous or even sybaritic ? spread out before students of medieval manuscripts." (Kathryn M. Rudy, in HNA Review of Books) "This updating of the traditional manuscript catalogue is a very useful addition to the scholarship on manuscripts in English collections, in part because of the precision and brevity of the updated information, but especially because of the sumptuous illustrations, which provide the irreplaceable visual context for the textual information the catalogue presents." (Stephen Clancy, in Speculum 86/3, July 2011, p. 789) "The series will be a landmark in manuscript studies, and one can only hope that further support will hasten further projected volumes." (Rowan Watson, in: The Burlington Magazine, vol. CLIV, 2012, p. 847) "Esta calidad editorial y cient fica, presentes en los dem s tomos y vol menes que conforman la serie Illuminated Manuscripts in Cambridge de Harvey Miller/Brepols, es un excelente modelo a tener en cuenta para la edici n de futuros cat logos de manuscritos iluminados." (Isabel Escandell Proust, in: Codex Aquilarensis, 29, 2013, p. 289-304) (?) un instrument de travail pr cieux pour le chercheur et l?amateur clair . (Marc Gil, dans Le Moyen Age, 1, 2017, p. 207)

Catalogue of Western Book Illumination in the Fitzwilliam Museum and the Cambridge Colleges. Part Two: Italy and the Iberian Peninsula,

This new publication constitutes Part Two of the multi-volume Cambridge Illuminations Research Project cataloguing all western illuminated manuscripts in the Fitzwilliam Museum and the Cambridge Colleges. It covers manuscripts produced in Italy and the Iberian Peninsula, ranging from the early Gospels of St Augustine made in sixth-century Rome, through the carefully designed patristic texts from twelfth-century Tuscany and Lombardy, the great law books of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Bologna, the opulent Books of Hours, elegant Humanistic volumes and enormous Choir Books of the fifteenth century, and finally to the richly decorated and densely ornamented books of sixteenth-century Spain. In addition to the famous treasures, these catalogues include a considerable number of previously unpublished cuttings, among them new attributions to leading artists and exciting discoveries, all of which offer a stimulating source for further research. Every manuscript catalogued is also illustrated, frequently with several images, all reproduced in full colour. Entries for Italian manuscripts are arranged chronologically in the period up to 1200, while manuscripts produced after 1200 are catalogued by region of origin and within that division again by sequence of date. Manuscripts that cannot at present be allocated to a particular region are grouped in a special section, and Spanish books are again catalogued in chronological order. Languages: English.
