According to the publisher's description, "The Bodleian Library collections of Western illuminated manuscripts are among the richest in the world, but only a small proportion of them have ever been published or studied for their illumination alone. Here, for the first time, they are all arranged chronologically and by the country of origin. Post-medieval manuscripts are included if they are illuminated. Nearly 450 illustrations supplement the text of the first volume containing some 900 manuscripts." The second volume lists over 1000 manuscripts with the text supplemented by over 600 illustrations. Volume 3 contains descriptions of insular manuscripts, the collection being second only to the British Library. Volume 1 is in mint condition, while volumes 2 and 3 are ex-library copies with stamps on the verso of titles. The dust jackets for volumes 2 and 3 are slightly frayed at extremities and somewhat stained. N° de ref. del artículo 006204
