University of California Press, 1977 4to (30 cm), font. in color, XXIV, 270 pp, 412 illustrations on unpaginated plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly sunned). "This is the first book in 70 years to examine the enormous variety and richness of Parisian manuscript painting in the middle half of the 13th century. Robert Branner is concerned with the identification and stylistic histories of the many ateliers of manuscript illumination active in Paris during this time, when production of luxury volumes by professional scribes and artists soared in response to demands of large and growing patronage that included the king and court, wealthy burgers, and well-to-do studens of the new University. A working list of manuscript grouped by ateliers is included in an appendix, and critical specimens of each shop style are reproduced in 428 illustrtions (26 in color)." (from the blurb)
