Toward a Global Middle Ages: Encountering the World through Illuminate - Getty Museum Store

Edited by Bryan C. Keene Illuminated manuscripts and illustrated or decorated books—like today’s museums— preserve a rich array of information about how premodern peoples conceived of and perceived the world, its many cultures, and everyone’s place in it.
