Book Review: Hebrew Illuminated Manuscripts by Bezalel Narkiss (1967)

I recently checked out the book Hebrew Illuminated Manuscripts from my local library, and I've really been enjoying it. It was compiled and written by Bezalel Narkiss, the well known Jewish art historian. The folio pages have fantastic reproductions of illuminated manuscripts from Oriental, Spanish, French, German and Italian sources. The medieval illuminated manuscripts are supplying me with lots of ideas for my own future artwork!
