[MR] Book of interest to Scadians

[Garth G. Groff]

Friends,

Here is a delightful new book which just arrived in the UVA libraries: 
IMAGES IN THE MARGINS by Margot McIlwain Nishimura (ISBN 9780892369829; 
UVA call # FINE ARTS ND3343.4 .M38 2009). This is charming collection of 
small illuminations from the margins of medieval manuscripts, presented 
enlarged and in full color. There are many whimsical, and serious, 
illustrations here, ranging from biblical scenes to rabbits turning the 
tables on hounds with bows and arrows. There are some fine examples of 
costuming among the illustrations, including rich colors and 
considerable detail. This book is a must for the library of any Scadian 
scribe, a worthy resource for costumers, and just plain fun for the rest 
of us.

Kind regards,


Mungo Napier, Shire of Isenfir's Unofficial Librarian
