From the blurb: "This selection of published and unpublished papers by one of the most eminent palaeographers of our generation provides penetrating insights into the study of script, parchment and illumination, as well as into the wider contexts of early medieval history and art. The papers reveal the many facets of Julian Brown's work which have had such an influence on recent palaeography, as well as on the study ot Insular and Early English manuscripts...The Editors have arranged the papers in a thematic sequence with brief introductions to each section. They have left the content undisturbed, the bibliographical references have been brought up to date, and a body of illustrations demonstrates visually the detailed features of script, mise-en-page and decoration. Of particular importance is the chapter on 'Aspects of Palaeography', which should serve as a basic text for the study of the subject.
