| 520 | _a"Illuminated Manuscripts in Classical and Mediaeval Times, Their Art and Their Technique" by J. Henry Middleton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the evolution and artistry of illuminated manuscripts, tracing their development from classical antiquity through the Middle Ages. The book focuses on the various methods, materials, and techniques employed in manuscript creation, highlighting the significance of illumination as an art form. The opening of the work establishes the author's intention to provide a comprehensive overview of manuscript writing and decoration from the earliest times to the sixteenth century, marking the transition from illuminated texts to printed works. Middleton emphasizes the survival of classical techniques throughout the mediaeval period and introduces the reader to the types of manuscripts, such as those inscribed on metal and wax tablets, which set the stage for the ensuing exploration of decorated texts. The early chapters delve into specific forms of writing, such as the use of a stylus and pen, and hint at the intricate process and care taken by scribes and illuminators, setting up a rich narrative of the artistry and craftsmanship involved in these historical texts.
