Two hundred pages of gorgeous medieval illuminated manuscripts, accompanied by modern English commentary on an amazing variety of topics. The text snippets are each a page or two long, covering an eclectic mix of topics from all walks of medieval life (Norse tales of Ugly Feet, Marco Polo, the Black Death, music, poetry, art, miracles, fairs, religion, travel, prostitution, you name it...) The illustrations are equally unusual. To mention a few: "Nero watches while his mother is dissected", "The battle between the Great Khan's marshal and the King of Mien", "Solomon's Throne", "The Island of Sumatra", "The Life of St. Edmund".
