BASING, PATRICIA - Trades and crafts in medieval manuscripts

London, British Library. 1990, 1st UK Edition. (ISBN: 0712301879) Hard Cover. Illuminated manuscripts are a source of information on how men and women went about the everyday business of earning a living in the Middle Ages - on the land, through trade and commerce, as craftsmen and manufacturers, or in what we now regard as the professions. Many of the scenes shown in this illustrated study are works of art in their own right, or are from manuscripts famous for the quality of their illumination. 124p. illus col.plates bibliography.index.
