This week’s competition prize is Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts by Christopher de Hamel, published by Allen Lane (£30). Click here for your chance to win.
De Hamel’s engaging discussion of 12 medieval illuminated manuscripts includes the Gospels of St Augustine in Cambridge and the The Book of Kells in Trinity College Dublin. In this personal, but scholarly account, De Hamel visits each manuscript in its current home, describes each encounter, and manages to span nine centuries of manuscript production.
