Index of Manuscripts. General Index. Bound in the original black boards lettered in shiny silver over a gray spine panel. From the Dust Jacket: "This is a fascinating study of the making of the Harley Psalter an illustrated manuscript which was produced at Christ Church Canterbury over a period of about one hundred years from c. 1020 to c. 1130. The Harley Psalter was closely based on the Utrecht Psalter the most celebrated of all Carolingian illuminated manuscripts. Through meticulous observation of the Harley Psalter William Noel analyses how the artists and scribes worked with each other and with their manuscript exemplars in making their illustrated text. The author demonstrates that this work is best understood not as a copy of the Utrecht Psalter but rather as one of a series of Anglo-Saxon manuscript experiments that incorporated its imagery. The Harley Psalter is undoubtedly a crucial work for understanding the development of art script and book making during what has been termed the 'golden age' of Anglo-Saxon art." . First Edition.
