Description

Explore the history and visual elements of a significant medieval text with this scholarly work from Brill. Part of The Manuscript World series, this volume focuses on the "Vows of the Peacock" manuscript (New York, Pierpont Morgan Library MS G24). The original poem, written in 1312 and dedicated to Thibaut de Bar, tells the story of Alexander the Great aiding an aristocratic family against Indian threats. This specific study examines one of the most provocative versions of the poem. Readers gain access to a detailed catalogue and concordance of twenty-six illuminated manuscripts. The text provides a deep look into the twenty-two miniatures that illustrate themes of chivalry and courtly love. Additionally, the study examines the unusually high number of scurrilous marginalia found within the MS G24 manuscript, offering a unique perspective on how the written word was interpreted and annotated in the fourteenth century.
