MENTRE, MIREILLE. The Illuminated Manuscripts of Medieval Spain. 304 pp. with 146 color and 106 b&w illustrations. 4to, cloth. New York, Thames and Hudson, Inc., 1996. The Christian communities of Medieval Spain were dominated by an Islamic culture and cut off from the rest of Europe. A unique style of manuscript illumination arose known as Mozarbic, a combination of Carolingian, Islamic, Byzantine and Visigoth artistic traditions. These works express an apocalyptic worldview in a colorful and mysterious visual language. The author explores the theological complexities and the art historical context of these manuscripts.
