About the book

The surviving leaves associated with William de Brailes preserve the work of one of the few named English manuscript illuminators of the thirteenth century. Their biblical and devotional images demonstrate the lively narrative style, expressive figures and brilliant colour of medieval book painting, while offering insight into the production and use of illuminated psalters in Gothic England.
