Now only EUR 49,00 instead of EUR 75,00 'Ce recueil, est un instrument de travail indispensable pour les chercheurs qui s'interessent a' l'art neo-gothique, et surtout a l'art de l'enluminure'. Paul Valvekens in Revue D'Histoire Ecclesiastique, Volume 103, Issue 1, 2008 The art of illumination, usually associated with the Middle Ages, experienced a spectacular revival in nineteenth-century Western Europe. This completely different context gave the illuminations another import. The output of the lay and religious workshops reveals a great artistic, stylistic, technical and typological diversity. The works illuminated go far beyond the world of exceptional and precious manuscripts and include many occasional documents, as well as golden books, devotional images, etc. Richly illustrated with unpublished masterworks, the present volume offers an overview of the important revival of medieval illumination. The fifteen authors do not limit their approach to the traditional questions of art history. Rather, they explore the historical, socio-cultural, ideological and religious components of the revival, which changed according to time and country, in order to understand the evolution and success of the art of illumination in the long nineteenth century. L'art de l'enluminure, bien connu pour le Moyen Age, fit l'objet d'un regain d'interet spectaculaire au XIXe siecle. Le contexte resolument different leur confere toutefois une autre signification. La production des ateliers civils et religieux presente une grande diversite artistique, stylistique, technique et typologique. Elle excede largement le monde des manuscrits exceptionnels et precieux et comprend nombre de documents de circonstance, de livres d'or, d'images de devotion, etc. Abondamment illustre de chefs-d'oeuvre inedits, le present ouvrage presente pour la premiere fois une vue d'ensemble de l'important phenomene de la renaissance de l'enluminure medievale. Les quinze auteurs n'ont pas voulu se limiter aux questions traditionnelles de l'histoire de l'art. Les composantes historiques, socioculturelles, ideologiques et religieuses de ce phenomene complexe, variant dans le temps et selon les pays, sont essentielles pour comprendre l'evolution et le succes de l'art de l'enluminure au XIXe siecle.
