Register or Login to view.Maddalo is very much focussed on the Anglica manuscript, and seems to be more concerned with the illustrations, their style and origin.
I'd be interested to learn more about that, though for obvious reasons the work is not accessible to me. If you get around to reading it, please don't hesitate to share any bits you find interesting
I remember that she discusses the work as a "bildercodex" (a new word, for me). She says that text and images were conceived together: it is a work that was created from the start as a whole made of words and pictures. This makes sense: both text and illustrations follow a fixed format that make it easy to present them on the two sides of an open page. I am curious to understand more of what a bildercodex is: maybe it is a concept that could help us understand more of Quire 13.
Anyway, Kauffmann also discusses the illustrations: I am sure he is worth reading too.
