The Ormesby Psalter: Patrons And Artists In Medieval East Anglia (Treasures From The Bodleian Library),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Ormesby Psalter is one of the most wellknown yet mysterious manuscripts to survive the Middle Ages. It was made in a series of campaigns over many decades, starting in the latethirteenth century, and the main decorated pages were executed in the 1310s for a marriage that never took place. Likely meant for private devotion by its wealthy patrons, this exquisite book of psalms was left unfinished.Housed in Oxfords Bodleian Library for over 150 years, this enigmatic masterpiece is perhaps the most magnificent yet enigmatic of the great Gothic psalters produced in East Anglia in the first half of the fourteenth century. Manuscript expert Frederica C. E. LawTurner places the psalter within a wider historical context and then deciphers its lush illuminationsscenes that vary wildly in tone from the comic to the bawdy to the mythic. Fullcolor photographs illustrate the texts many characters: falcons and hunting dogs at bay, kings and courtesans, and other animals dressed in human garb. Created over a period of decades by previously unrecognized scribes and artists, the Ormesby Psalter is an exceptional amalgam of medieval art and history. For scholars of medieval life, as well as art historians, this new study will be an invaluable resource.
