Reviews

Given that the Bury Bible is one of the universally acknowledged masterpieces of medieval art, it is surprising that there has never been a readily available study of it or an adequate set of colour plates... these full scale colour plates witll come as a revelation to most viewers. Thomson has provided an excellent introduction... both the reproductions and the text do full justice to this hitherto undervalued monument of English art and it is much to be hoped that it will be acquired by librarians as well as by bibliophiles. BURLINGTON MAGAZINE [C.M.Kauffmann] Art historians will be delighted that the means have been found to publish a full compendium of [the Bible's] magnificent decoration, all in colour and at actual size..It is indeed suitably grand and the quality of the plates is excellent.
