New York: Hacker Art Books, 1969. Hardcover. G+ (Ex-art library, with i.d. marks on book block edges and outermost pages, incl. rear pocket; pages are aging only slightly.). Red buckram, 100+ text pp. followed by 160 BW plates on pages. A reprint of a book first published in 1929 in two volumes, and this one merges them, one right after another. Part one deals with the Visigothic Period, Mozarabic Period, the Twelfth Century, and Romanesque Illumination in Catalonia. Part two addresses the 13th-16th centuries. Each part contains a narrative text, followed by many examples of book and manuscript illumination from Spanish peoples. Uncommon.
