London : Toronto: The British Library ; University of Toronto Press, 1999, 421pp., . British Library studies in medieval culture"Susie Nash examines manuscript illumination in Amiens in its historical and socio-economic context, discussing evidence of artistic interchange between France and Flanders, and reassessing the artistic identity of Simon Marmion. She identifies twenty-seven illuminated manuscripts and two single leaves as Amiens production, and establishes the production of manuscripts in earlier decades of the century for the first time, relating them to the later, more abundant and better known work." "Extensively illustrated in colour and black and white from manuscripts, some of which have never before been reproduced, Between France and Flanders is an innovative work for all historians of art, codicology, liturgy and popular devotion in France and the Low Countries." - CONTENTS: Ch. 1.
