Hamel, Christopher De: The Posthumous Papers of the Manuscripts Club
The Posthumous Papers of the Manuscripts Club , 'Exquisite... intelligent, illuminating, mischievous ... delightful The Times
The acclaimed author of Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts introduces us to the extraordinary keepers and companions of medieval manuscripts over a thousand years of history
The illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages are among the greatest works of European art and literature. We are dazzled by them and recognize their crucial role in the transmission of knowledge. But we generally think much less about the countless men and women who made, collected and preserved them through the centuries, and to whom they owe their existence.
This entrancing book describes some of the extraordinary people who have spent their lives among illuminated manuscripts over the last thousand years. A monk in Normandy, a prince of France, a Florentine bookseller, an English antiquary, a rabbi from central Europe, a French priest, a Keeper at the British Museum, a Greek forger, a German polymath, a British connoisseur and the woman who created the most spectacular library in America - all of them were participants in what Christopher de Hamel calls the Manuscripts Club.
This exhilarating fraternity, and the fellow enthusiasts who come with it, throw new light on how manuscripts have survived and been used by very different kinds of people in many different circumstances. Christopher de Hamel's unexpected connections and discoveries reveal a passion which crosses the boundaries of time. We understand the manuscripts themselves better by knowing who their keepers and companions have been.
In 1850 (or thereabouts) John Ruskin bought his first manuscript 'at a bookseller's in a back alley'. This was his reaction: 'The new worlds which every leaf of this book opened to me, and the joy I had in counting their letters and unravelling their arabesques as if they had all been of beaten gold - as many of them were - cannot be told.' The members of de Hamel's club share many such wonders, which he brings to us with scholarship, style, and a lifetime's experience. , > , Erscheinungsjahr: 20241003, Produktform: Kartoniert, Autoren: Hamel, Christopher De, Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 624, Themenüberschrift: HISTORY / Medieval, Keyword: art; art book; history books; art books; history books for adults; art books for adults; manuscript book; design books; anglo saxon history books; meetings with remarkable manuscripts; manuscript; european history; hidden hands the lives of manuscripts and their makers; european art of the seventeenth century; non fiction books; non fiction; top non fiction books; books for men non fiction; literary gifts; bookish gifts; literary gifts for book lovers; book gifts; book gift; gift for dad; gift for men; gift for grandad; european; outdoor europe, Fachschema: Englische Bücher / Geschichte, Kulturgeschichte, Zeitgeschichte~Europa / Geschichte, Kulturgeschichte~Handschrift (Manuskript)~Schrift / Handschrift (Manuskript)~Kunstgeschichte~Mittelalter (Literatur)~Religionsgeschichte~Mittelalter, Fachkategorie: Kunstgeschichte~Geschichte allgemein und Weltgeschichte~Europäische Geschichte: Mittelalter~Geschichte der Religion, Imprint-Titels: Penguin, Warengruppe: HC/Geschichte/Allgemeines/Lexika, UNSPSC: 49019900, Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik: 49019900, Länge: 198, Breite: 129, Höhe: 35, Gewicht: 500, Produktform: Kartoniert, Genre: Importe,
