"Nadat de tekst van een middeleeuws boek in zwarte letters op perkament of papier was geschreven, werden de met penseel geschilderde initialen toegevoegd, afwisselend in rode of blauwe verf of alleen in rood. Soms werden deze initialen versierd met geschilderde decoratie. Er bestond echter ook een eenvoudiger procédé, namelijk versiering door middel van met de pen getekende motieven in het oog van de initiaal of er omheen. Vaak strekte dit zogenaamde penwerk zich uit tot in de marge. In de tweede helft van de vijftiende eeuw was de stad Utrecht een centrum van handschriftenproductie. In dit boek wordt de penwerkdecoratie in Utrechtse handschriften uit deze periode beschreven en getoond aan de hand van vele kleurenafbeeldingen. Gisela Gerritsen-Geywitz onderscheidt hierbij vijftien penwerkstijlen die elkaar deels overlappen. Een aantal van deze stijlen wordt ook aangetroffen in incunabelen die in Utrecht en elders zijn gedrukt"--Back cover.

Visual Translation breaks new ground in the study of French manuscripts, contributing to the fields of French humanism, textual translation, and the reception of the classical tradition in the first half of the fifteenth century.While the prominence and quality of illustrations in French manuscripts have attracted attention, their images have rarely been studied systematically as components of humanist translation. Anne D. Hedeman fills this gap by studying the humanist book production closely supervised by Laurent de Premierfait and Jean Lebègue for courtly Parisian audiences in the first half of the fifteenth century.Hedeman explores how visual translation works in a series of unusually densely illuminated manuscripts associated with Laurent and Lebègue circa 1404-54. These manuscripts cover both Latin texts, such as Statius's Thebiad and Achilleid, Terence's Comedies, and Sallust's Conspiracy of Cataline and Jurguthine War, and French translations of Cicero's De senectute, Boccaccio's De casibus virorum illustrium and Decameron, and Bruni's De bello Punico primo. Illuminations constitute a significant part of these manuscripts' textual apparatus, which helped shape access to and interpretation of the texts for a French audience. Hedeman considers them as a group and reveals Laurent's and Lebègue's growing understanding of visual rhetoric and its ability to visually translate texts originating in a culture removed in time or geography for medieval readers who sought to understand them. The book discusses what happens when the visual cycles so carefully devised in collaboration with libraries and artists by Laurent and Lebègue escaped their control in a process of normalization. With over 180 color images, this major reference book will appeal to students and scholars of French, comparative literature, art history, history of the book, and translation studies.

Overview: This volume offers an intriguing glimpse into the world of late medieval martial arts, from wrestling to fencing with the longs word to the subtle tricks that could be employed when jousting on horseback. Using superb details of lively pen drawings highlighted with gold leaf, the book features some of the most interesting selections from Fior di Battaglia (The Flower of Battle), a manuscript by the renowned Italian fencing master Fiore dei Liberi depicting the knightly arts of fighting with swords, daggers, and pole arms, on foot and on horseback, and in and out of armor. The copy in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum, created in the early fifteenth century, is the finest and most complete manuscript to survive. Offering detailed visual documentation of Fiore's techniques coupled with the author's genius for explaining sophisticated methods of offense and defense, the manuscript provides a comprehensive record of the skills by which men lived and died in the Middle Ages. Included are an introductory commentary, brief explanations of positions and techniques, and fascinating details about medieval arms and armor.
