John Williams, a renowned expert on the Commentary, shares a lifetime of study and offers new insights on these strikingly illustrated manuscripts. As he shows, the Commentary responded to differing monastic needs within the shifting context of the Middle Ages. Of special interest is a discussion of the recently discovered Geneva copy: one of only three commentaries to be written outside of the Iberian Peninsula, this manuscript shows both close affinities to the Spanish model and fascinating deviations from it in terms of its script and style of illustrations -- Provided by the publisher.Late antique and early medieval Iberia ;3.Manuscrits medievalsthubManuscripts, MedievalSpainLlibres electrònics.thubManuscrits medievals.Manuscripts, Medieval745.67Williams John1928 February 25-2015,1024959Martin ThereseMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910169175703321Visions of the End in Medieval Spain2436490UNINA
