A new position, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, has been created for a post-doctoral researcher to contribute and develop further expert specialist research, writing, and cataloguing skills to a major exhibition on illuminated manuscripts.

Course at the Courtauld Insitute of Art Summer School in London, 21-25 July 2008. Title: Making & Meaning: Illuminated Manuscripts by Dr Frederica Law-Turner.

Medieval illuminated manuscripts have been justly described as a National Gallery of Medieval painting. Not only objects of great beauty and fascination in themselves, these hand-written books are an unrivalled source for study of the art, life and culture of the Middle Ages. They are among the richest relics of the pre-modern world, relatively unscathed by the ravages of time and human destruction. This richly illustrated course offers an in-depth examination of manuscript design, construction and illumination, and considers the varieties of texts commonly illuminated, from Bibles, Psalters and Books of Hours to Bestiaries and Apocalypses. From the glories of early Insular manuscripts such as the Lindisfarne Gospels, to the refinement and sophistication of the Très Riches Heures of Jean, Duc de Berry, we examine how manuscripts were made and used, and by whom, and explore what they can tell us about medieval society. Visits will include the British Library, Lambeth Palace Library, Victoria and Albert Museum and the Bodleian Library in Oxford.
