Grasso?s monograph on the twelfth-century illustrated vita of Saint Amand, Valenciennes, Bibliothèque municipale MS 500, presents new information regarding its contents. The author?s discovery and analysis of a second almost complete set of preliminary drawings beneath another set of the same drawings demonstrates that important alterations were made prior to the execution of the cycle. Grasso?s discussion includes the probable reason for the change: the isolation of the terminating folio depicting the soul of Amand. This important devotional image is the focus of detailed analysis since the soul of Amand rests in the lap of a male figure she convincingly identifies as Christ, an extremely unusual placement for the soul of a saint, demonstrating the creativity of the artists. 410 0$aLibrary of the Written Word$v71. 606 $aSoul in art 606 $aIllumination of books and manuscripts, French$y12th century 606 $aIllumination of books and manuscripts, Romanesque$zFrance 606 $aChristian art and symbolism$zFrance$yMedieval, 500-1500 606 $aArtists' preparatory studies$zFrance$xHistory$y12th century 606 $aUnderdrawing 615 0$aSoul in art. 615 0$aIllumination of books and manuscripts, French 615 0$aIllumination of books and manuscripts, Romanesque 615 0$aChristian art and symbolism 615 0$aArtists' preparatory studies$xHistory 615 0$aUnderdrawing. 676 $a745.6740944 700 $aGrasso$b Maria R.$01576720 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793673203321 996 $aIlluminating sanctity$93854682 997 $aUNINA
