Christopher de Hamel, formerly of Sotheby’s, is a Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. He is the author of 'Bibles' (Bodleian, 2011), and his most recent book is 'Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts' (Allen Lane, 2016).
"Christopher de Hamel's Making Medieval Manuscripts, a revised
edition of his 1992 Scribes and Illuminators, is a copiously--and
beautifully-illustrated survey of the materials and techniques used
to create handwritten books in the Middle Ages... De Hamel has
taken effective advantage of the opportunity to improve the design
and illustrative content of the book. For readers who own and refer
to the 1992 edition, then, the 2018 edition will be most
welcome."
--Lisa Fagin Davis "The Medieval Review"
"Written in a lively and enjoyable style and including examples
spanning the early Middle Ages through the Renaissance, Making
Medieval Manuscripts is an informative account of the process of
how medieval books were created."-- "Choice"
