'Glorious Illuminations: The Art of the Illuminated'

Before the introduction of printing to Western Europe during the mid 15th Century all books were written by hand. The most luxurious manuscripts were illuminated, lit up by decoration, pictures, brightly coloured pigments and gold leaf. Masterpieces such as the Lindisfarne Gospels are famous but for every one of these stars there are thousands of less elaborate manuscripts. Each tell us something of the faith, politics and economics that under pinned daily life.
Our lecturer Mrs Clare Ford-Wi
