Abstract (en)

Offers a theoretical model based on what the author calls "networks" of stylistic groupings and influences for manuscripts produced ca.1190-1470. Concludes that, from this organization of the material, evidence for three kinds of illumination emerges. The conservative "book illuminators" approach of the Oxford trained artists; the exuberance of East Anglian border and figure types (whether produced in Cambridge or Norwich); and the cosmopolitan nature of London work, conservative in some aspects of design, but always ready for new ideas and willing to accommodate artists from other parts of the country.
