Hourihane, Colum (ed.), Manuscripta Illuminata: Approaches to Understanding Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts. Princeton NJ and University Park PA: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2014. Pp. 287 + 168 color figures + 10 B/W figures + Manuscript Index. $ 35.00 paper.Colum Hourihane and the Index of Christian Art at Princeton University have done it again: they have produced yet another beautiful volume of scholarly and insightful articles that is lavishly illustrated. Like many of the volumes that have preceded it, Manuscripta Illuminata is the published proceedings of a conference organized by the Index of Christian Art. The Index coordinated the conference with the publication of a two-volume catalogue on the Western medieval and Renaissance manuscripts owned by Princeton’s Firestone Library, the first comprehensive catalogue of all the works in the library; that is, this catalogue includes those manuscripts that have not been illuminated as well as those which have been. In his introduction, Hourihane states that the conference’s aim was to “try to advance our understanding of the medieval manuscript” in general, and as such the manuscripts explored in this collection are a very broad representative sampling, ranging as they do from early medieval Ottonian manuscripts to Renaissance library collections.In addition to the
