Die illuminierten Handschriften französischer Herkunft in der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek

This volume concludes the comprehensive description of all French manuscripts in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Munich that are decorated with book decoration, whereby the closely related Dutch and Flemish manuscripts were also included for stylistic reasons. Compared to vol. 7/1, the time frame here remains limited to about 140 years, which, however, can vary greatly in that both the demand for illuminated manuscripts and the mobile locations of certain illuminators as well as political change within the French regions were subject to rapid change.
