Trades and Crafts in Medieval Manuscripts

ISBN: 9781561310029
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This is a book for readers who are interested in the art and the social history of the Middle Ages. Illuminated manuscripts of that period are a primary source of information about the way in which men and women went about the everyday business of living-working on the land, engaging in trade and commerce, devoting themselves to crafts and manufactures, or carrying on the range of activities that we now regard as the professions. Many of the scenes reproduced in this superbly illustrated account are simply works of art in their own right; others are taken from manuscripts that are famous for the very high quality of their illumination. Patricia Basing provides a rich commentary, full of interesting observations, that relates each picture its historical context, explores the connections between the illustrations and text, and gives an account of the general background of manuscript production in medieval times.

Book Description
The anonymous Trinity Encyclopedia (translated here from Middle English for the first time) is a collection of unusually detailed 14th century English craft recipes, collected from several individuals and from a number of written sources, for manufacturing pigments, dyeing, preparing skins and furs, imitating expensive imported leathers, counterfeiting semi-precious materials, 'multiplying' (adulterating) verdigris, and for making soaps and confectionery. In many cases, the recipes attempt to codify and make explicit the practical knowledge of the craftsmen, conveying it by means of tips, clues, indicators of progress, tests for quality of materials, tests for progress, and tests for completion. Contents: List of figures; Acknowledgements; Introduction; The technical content: overview and highlights; The Trinity Encyclopedia as a source of lost technical vocabulary; The manuscripts; Composition and compilation: the typology of the recipes and their sources; Author, title and date; Purpose and audience; As the manner is; The Trinity Encyclopedia in context: craft recipes in medieval England; Principles of the translation; Tools and equipment; The Trinity Encyclopedia: Translation; Appendix 1 London, British Library, MS Sloane 73 (MS S): contents, concordance, additional recipes; Appendix II Typology of the recipes; Appendix III Earlier studies; Appendix IV Revisions to the Early English Text Society edition of the Trinity Encyclopedia; Glossary; Bibliography.
