EARLY DRAWINGS AND ILLUMINATIONS

An Introduction to the Study of Illustrated Manuscripts, With a Dictionary of Subjects in the British MuseumThe thanks of the Authors are due to the Trustees of the British Museum, who have kindly permitted the illustrations which adorn this work to be obtained by photography from the Manuscripts themselves. The Authors also desire to record their sense of obligation to Dr. Birch for an account of the art of Egyptian Papyri, to Mrs. H.]enner for much valuable assistance, chiefly in the branch of sacred art, and to two other ladies who have materially lessened the preliminary labours of preparation for the press, which are necessarily so great in a work of this kind.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
