summary:
  In fact, the art of printing pictures from wood blocks is earlier than that of printing books, and is undoubtedly the parent of book illustration. The invention of printing books, and the use of wood-blocks for book ornament in place of hand-painting, though it belongs to the period of the degradation of mediæval art, gave an opportunity to the Germans to regain the place which they had lost in the art of book decoration during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.

  Lessons in the Art of Illuminating A Series of Examples selected from Works in the British Museum, Lambeth Palace Library, and the South Kensington Museum. With Practical Instructions, and a Sketch of the History of the Art

summary:
  3045, British Museum, ILLUMINATED PLATE III.--Examples of thirteenth-century work from two Manuscripts in the British Museum, Description of Plate III., Outline Drawings of two pages of a Book of Hours of the fourteenth century, ILLUMINATED PLATE IV.--Facsimile page of a Manuscript in Lambeth Palace Library--fifteenth century, Description of Plate IV., Outline Drawings of two pages of a Book of Hours of the fourteenth century, ILLUMINATED PLATE V.--Ornaments and large Initial from Manuscripts of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in the British Museum and South Kensington Museum, Description of Plate V., Outline Drawings of Bands and Border Ornaments of the fourteenth century, ILLUMINATED PLATE VI.--A full page and separate Initials from a Book of Hours (Low Countries, fifteenth century), and Border from Manuscript in British Museum, Description of Plate VI., French Initial Letters and Border Ornaments of the fourteenth century, ILLUMINATED PLATE VII.--Borders of Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries,--and Heraldic Designs, from Manuscripts in British Museum and Heralds' College, Description of Plate VII., Outline Drawing of Border and Text, with Adoration of the Three Kings, sixteenth century, ILLUMINATED PLATE VIII.--Examples from the Book of Kells (ninth century), in Library of Trinity College, Dublin, Description of Plate VIII. Men could write long before it occurred to them to ornament their writings: and the modern student will find that what he looks upon as genuine illumination is not to be traced back many centuries.

summary:
  All through the evening, however, in spite of the pleasant entertainment, Lady Anne, who was very sympathetic, could not help but think many times of poor little Gabriel, and how cold and hungry and miserable he must be! But as he passed over to one of the tables and began to make ready his paint mortar, the monk who had charge of the writing-room called to him, saying: Gabriel, do not get out thy work here, for the Abbot hath just ordered that some one must help Brother Stephen, who is alone in the old chapter-house.

summary:
  We see the fine outlines and features as we are accustomed to see them in thirteenth century work, offering in their delicate style a curious contrast to the broad free paintiness of the illustration in plate 12. There are a couple of instances in which sculptured stones bearing names, which are assigned by Bishop Stubbs to the ninth century, are said by Prof. Westwood to be _perhaps_ of the sixth or seventh; and that is all.

summary:
  The introduction of the use of the copper-plate marks a new era in book illustration, but as regards their decoration, one of distinct decline. Able painter and designer as he was in his own way, the interest of his work is entirely on that side, and is rather valuable as illustrating the life and manners of his time than as furnishing examples of book illustration, and his work certainly has no decorative aim, although no doubt quite harmonious in an eighteenth century room.

  The History, Theory, and Practice of Illuminating Condensed from 'The Art of Illuminating' by the same illustrator and author

summary:
  During four-and-twenty years, until his death, indeed, in 804, he retained the affection and respect of his royal patron, and occupied himself in incessant labour for the advancement of learning, and the multiplication of pure texts of the Holy Scriptures and other good books. Among many other books, he saw one containing the whole of the Old and New Testaments, which he at length bought: and William of Malmesbury, who wrote his life in the twelfth century, tells us it was still preserved at that place.

  In illuminated manuscripts _ultramarine_ is very freely used. The mediaeval phrase _illuminated manuscript_ means a manuscript which is lighted up with coloured decoration in the form of ornamental initial-letters or painted miniatures.

  Arts and Crafts in the Middle Ages A Description of Mediaeval Workmanship in Several of the Departments of Applied Art, Together with Some Account of Special Artisans in the Early Renaissance

summary:
  The colours were always rather clear and crude, but are the more sincere and decorative on this account, the worker recognizing frankly the limitation of the material; and the gold outline harmonizes the whole, as it does in any form of art work. Another form of enamel was used to colour gold work in relief, with a permanent coating of transparent colour.
