Summary

The visionary nature of the Apocalypse ¿ the biblical book of Revelation ¿ along with its detailed descriptions of the end of the world have long made it ideal for illustration. Illuminated texts of the Apocalypse were particularly popular in 13th-century England, and the copy in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum, with its lively narrative miniatures, stand as a testament to the artistic heights achieved during that period. In this richly illustrated book, all 82 of the manuscript¿s images are reproduced in colour for the first time, accompanied by a full commentary. A general introduction to the history of 13th-century English illustrated Apocalypse manuscripts is followed by a succinct study of the artistic context of the Getty¿s manuscript, as well as a consideration of its style and date.
