内容説明
"The Bedford Hours", one of the most sumptuous Books of Hours ever to have left an illuminator's workshop, is today one of the British Library's greatest treasures. With 1250 elaborate medallions, 38 large-scale miniatures, all decorated with gold leaf, brush gold and frequently also with silver, "The Bedford Hours" is one of the most precious manuscripts of its period. The artist behind the manuscript, known as the Bedford Master, was among the most prolific painters of his day but his identity has remained a mystery. Eberhard Konig's engrossing account is a tale which unfolds toward a number of startlingly original and unexpected conclusions, the key one being that it is extremely likely that he was Haincelin of Haguenau, an artist who had become enlumineur (illuminator) to the dauphin Louis de Guyenne. Louis was associated with a considerable number of major illuminated manuscripts in which the Bedford Master had a hand. Professor Konig has disentangled the sequence of work by extraordinary detective work into the smallest of clues and demonstrates how a medieval masterpiece was actually made.

形式:ハードカバー
これはどういう本かというと、ベッドフォード時祷書のファクシミリ版豪華本が出版された折に、付録として添えられた、ベッドフォード時祷書の細密画を描いた画家がどこの誰なのかということを論じた学術論文を単行本化したものです（原文はドイツ語で、これはその英訳）。
たとえばキリスト降誕図に雪が描かれているからその時期に雪が降る地方の出身者なのではないかとか、聖母の顔や髪型の描き方の特徴とかを、関連する時祷書その他からの図版を例にあげながら論じている学術書で、論文が主であって、図版は論文の内容に従って従属的に並べられています。ベッドフォード時祷書の細密画はカラー図版で多数収録されていて、印刷も良いです。

attractive illumination book
2009/8/20
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
Eberhard Konig, the author of this attractive book, wrote the commentary for the the Swiss facsimile edition of the Bedford Hours. The price of this limited edition is around $17000! For a much more modest investment, this issue will give the reader a good idea of the highlights of this renowned manuscript.
The Bedford Hours was produced in the first decades of the fifteenth century, the same era as the Limbourg brothers were active. Despite the illuminator's prolific and high quality output, his true identity is unknown.
Konig's text is unfalingly interesting and informative. The book is richly illustrated, often with full page reproductions. Given the modest price of this publication it might be churlish to be overly critical of the quality of the pages as reproduced. There is a certain harshness and unnaturalness in the colors; this is not serious and the reader will gain a reasonable impression of what the original looks like. Alternatively there are copies of the $17000 limited edition still available!

Beautiful Book - But Needs Figure Number References
2010/7/30
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
I am an enthusiatic amatuer lover of illuminated manuscripts. I found this book to be both lovely and informative. However, it suffers from one serious flaw - the various plates and illustations are not supplied with figure number references. They identify the images - both those from the Bedford Hours manuscript itself and those from other manuscripts with which the Bedford Hours images are being compared - by listing the manuscript and the folio number for that manuscript - but not with a unique figure number for this book itself. That means that when the text begins discussing an image, you have to hunt through the book in order to look at the picture. This is difficult enough when the image is on a near-by page, but if the text and image are separated widely (which happens often if an image is discussed in more than one part of the text), it is enough to make one extremely exasperated. For example, the Adam and Eve/Paradise minuature is discussed first on page 57, but the image is reproduced on page 91! This seems to be a serious editorial failure. That said, this is no reason to pass up this book - its comparison of the minatures in this manuscript with other examples by the same Bedford Master in other manuscripts and also by other artists is very instructive. But just be prepared to keep a firm grip on your temper as you search for the pictures.
Market speculation
2012/5/30
形式:ハードカバー
If you have no money to see this out of stock book, you can buy it in the german language.It's price is more or less 10/15% of the prices practiced in the speculative second hand market. I'm speaking of a book with the same quality of wonderful illustrations of the english edition. Do not buy books at such speculative prices.
