'...well produced, with lavish use of illustration...transforms the study of illustration from dilettante frippery to the subject of serious scholarship. This is a rigorous and enterprising contribution to a new field.' Alastair Sooke, Times Literary Supplement '... a welcome addition to the literature and a significant contribution to the subject.' Paul Goldman, The Library 'The contributors engage with a complex aspect of the first 500 years of the history of the book and reveal a relatively little studied aspect of visual culture... familiar material re-presented in innovative contexts... Ashgate's 'Reinterpreting classicism' series, of which this book is one, is exactly the kind of project which the Warburg Institute was established to undertake.' Nigel Llewellyn, the Art Newspaper
