"In the same vein, Beckwith comments: the first of many British 19th-century studies of illuminated manuscripts, such books opened the public's eyes to the aesthetic and historical value of manuscript arts. The format was a model for 19th-century studies of the history and methods of illumination, a landmark in the diffusion of information about manuscript arts and their history and made a significant contribution to Victorian bibliomania. This may in fact be the very first book on illumination and its history to have color plates, and can certainly be said to have had a profound influence on early Victorian taste in and appreciation of illuminated manuscripts."--Abebooks.
