Book Synopsis :

A breathtaking journey?into the hidden history of medieval manuscripts,?from?the?Lindisfarne Gospels to?the ornate?Psalter of Henry VIII?Medieval manuscripts can tell us?much?about power and art, knowledge and beauty. Many have survived because of an author?s?status?part of the reason?we have so much of Chaucer?s writing, for example,?is?because he was a?London-based?government official first?and?a?poet second. Other works by the less influential have narrowly avoided ruin, like the book of illiterate Margery Kempe, found in a country house closet, the cover nibbled on by mice. Scholar Mary Wellesley recounts the amazing?origins?of?these remarkable manuscripts,?surfacing the important roles played by women and ordinary people?the grinders, binders, and scribes?in their creation and survival.??The Gilded Page is the story of the written word in the?manuscript?age.?Rich?and surprising, The Gilded Page?shows how the?most exquisite objects ever made by human hands?came from unexpected
