Nixon's Lyell Lectures, as amended and prepared for publication by Mirjam M. Foot. The lectures cover the history of decorated bookbindings in England, with a rather marked emphasis on earlier periods rather than later. Written with much detail and also with a delightfully dry wit which results in more than a few thoroughly amusing lines. While it would have been excellent to see all the images in color, such a large selection of them, even in black and white, is most welcome. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Based on the Lyell Lectures given by Howard Nixon at Oxford in 1979, this lavishly illustrated book traces the decorated binding in England from the earliest surviving example, the St Cuthbert Gospel dating from a little before the end of the seventh century, to the beginning of the Modern Movement in the late 1940s. This books emphasis is on fine binding in leather, with the styles and designs used for its decoration, and with the tools employed to effect these designs. This work is the first to trace comprehensively the development of this English tradition and bring together numerous illustrations of the superb bindings produced over the last eight centuries.
