Reviews
Beautifully illustrated. . . . This book conjoins an exhibition catalogue, geared to an educated but non-professional audience, with academic studies for specialists who are familiar with the material and can digest overloads of information. As a comprehensive compilation it will provide interest and inspiration to both types of readers., Like the exhibition, the catalog is a grand assemblage: hundreds of dazzling illustrations accompany articles by scholars of art, medieval studies, and history to illumine the medieval bestiary and its reception. . . . Beautifully illustrated, meticulously edited, thought-provoking for scholars and animal enthusiasts alike, the catalog reminds us that, like the opulent bestiaries, our fellow creatures are fragile, irreplaceable, and endlessly enchanting., The volume is much more than a catalogue: it serves as an excellent introduction to the lore and images of beasts in medieval culture. . . . Including four appendixes that will have great value for scholars, this beautifully produced book is accessible to nonspecialists, who will find it sometimes strange and uniformly delightful reading., "Sumptuous. . . . Exquisite. . . . A provocative introduction to aspects of medieval European culture for discerning readers interested in the premodern past." --Scott Robinson, The Medieval Review, Like the manuscripts it considers, the book is a feast for the eye and a breath-taking cache of knowledge, which offers a much-needed balance to pre-existing scholarship on the bestiary's textual history., The catalogue is a grand affair, with large pin-sharp illustrations, thorough data, bibliography and index. Care has been taken to balance scholarship with approachable text for the engaged non-specialist reader., Book of Beasts is exceptional in that it can be enjoyed as a sumptuously illustrated coffee-table book, but also constitutes a valuable point of reference, and springboard for future research, for professional medievalists and for academics with an interest in 'the animal turn'., This volume would make a good addition for students of medieval art, calligraphers, illuminators, artists, art lovers, and students of ecclesiastical Latin and Greek. It is written in a meticulous and scholarly style, but as a layperson I had no problems understanding and learning from the included essays., "A unicorn of a book: an anthology with a strong argument; an exhibition catalogue that is a work of serious scholarship; an accessible introduction to a subject that can seem arcane and remote from modern sensibilities; and a beautifully designed object in its own right. Anyone who wants to make sense of the fascinating, complex, and inuential medieval bestiary should start here." --Sherry C.M. Lindquist, Speculum

Synopsis
A celebration of the visual contributions of the bestiary--one of the most popular types of illuminated books during the Middle Ages--and an exploration of its lasting legacy., A celebration of the visual contributions of the bestiary--one of the most popular types of illuminated books during the Middle Ages--and an exploration of its lasting legacy. Brimming with lively animals both real and fantastic, the bestiary was one of the great illuminated manuscript traditions of the Middle Ages. Encompassing imaginary creatures such as the unicorn, siren, and griffin; exotic beasts including the tiger, elephant, and ape; as well as animals native to Europe like the beaver, dog, and hedgehog, the bestiary is a vibrant testimony to the medieval understanding of animals and their role in the world. So iconic were the stories and images of the bestiary that its beasts essentially escaped from the pages, appearing in a wide variety of manuscripts and other objects, including tapestries, ivories, metalwork, and sculpture. With over 270 color illustrations and contributions by twenty-five leading scholars, this gorgeous volume explores the bestiary and its widespread influence on medieval art and culture as well as on modern and contemporary artists like Pablo Picasso and Damien Hirst.

- c***o (189)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufSeller had this terrific PolSci book at an incredible value. Since it's a gently used copy the seller noted that the book has some highlighted sections and some old notes but that's fine by me. The shipping itself was quick and the padding was adequate enough for the old paperback to arrive just as described and in one piece at my mailbox. Terrific service from this seller, I'd happily order from them again!Inventing Reality: The Politics of the Mass Media (Nr. 187041351042)
