B3164. Images in the Margins / Nishimura
Images in the Margins by Margot McIlwain Nishimura. 2009. 96pp. 7" x 9". Hardcover
An astonishing mix of mundane, playful, absurd and monstrous beings, called marginalia, are found in the borders of English, French, and Italian manuscripts from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Unpredictable, topical, often irreverent, marginalia were a source of satire, serious social observation, and amusement for medieval readers. Though enlarged full-color details, and a lively narrative, this volume brings these intimately scaled and fascinating images to a wider audience. 84 color illustrations.
