Críticas:
Featured in Atlas Obscura "This is a huge and beautiful book that feels almost like a trip to the Cloisters between two covers." -New York Daily News "Rarely have earnest scholarship and sheer wonder come together as comfortably as they have here. And as magical as the original artworks surely are, this unique volume is literally better than the real thing, since it allows us to ogle them closely." -Fine Art Connoisseur "Every year I try to reserve the adjective "stunning" for one book. This is it." -The Seattle Times holiday gift guide "Heck and Cordonnier's creation allows modern readers to understand a little of the preciousness of a medieval book. ... The Grand Medieval Bestiary feels magical, valuable, and important." -New York Journal of Books
Reseña del editor:
The original edition (fall 2012) quickly sold out its 3000 copies at $185; this edition offers the same content in a slightly smaller trim size (8.5 x 10.25" vs 10.25 x 14.75") at the vastly more affordable price of $75. Widely acclaimed from the Wall Street Journal to the New York Daily News, the book features popular subject matter and big, beautiful pictures to make it accessible to a wide audience. Perfect for lovers of illuminated manuscripts and of animals real and imaginary. Christian Heck is a noted art historian. Remy Cordonnier is the head of rare books at the Bibliotheque d'agglomeration de Saint-Omer, France.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Now in an affordable edition, here is a splendid pageant of the animal kingdom as the Middle Ages saw it, illustrated with miniatures of every period and style, many never before published. As the 587 colourful images in this magnificent volume reveal, animals were a constant - and delightful - presence in illuminated manuscripts throughout the Middle Ages. Many proto-zoological illustrations, of great charm but variable accuracy, are found in the bestiaries, or compendiums of animal lore, that were exceedingly popular in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. But animals are depicted in every other sort of illuminated manuscript as well, from the eighth-century Echternach Gospels, with its geometrically schematized symbols of the Evangelists, to the early fifteenth-century Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, with its famously naturalistic scenes of peasant and aristocratic life. The main part of the book explores the complex and fascinating iconography of the individual creatures most frequently depicted by medieval miniaturists. It is arranged in the manner of a proper bestiary, with essays on one hundred animals alphabetized by their Latin names, from the alauda, or lark, whose morning song was thought to be a hymn to Creation, to the vultur, which enjoyed a certain respect due to its impressive appearance, but whose taste for carrion also made it a symbol of the sinner who indulges in worldly pleasures. The selection includes a number of creatures that would now be considered fantastic, including the griffin, the manticore, and of course the fabled unicorn, tamable only by a gentle maiden. Not merely a study of art history, The Grand Medieval Bestiary uses a theme of timeless interest to present a panorama of medieval life and thought that will captivate even the most sophisticated modern reader. AUTHORS: Christian Heck, a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France and former curator-in-chief of the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, is an authority on illuminated manuscripts. Remy Cordonnieris the head of rare books at the Bibliotheque d'agglomeration de Saint-Omer, France. 600 colour illustrations Now in an affordable edition, a splendid pageant of the animal kingdom as the Middle Ages saw it, by Christian Heck Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
