In Penned & Painted, Lucy Freeman Sandler, one of one of the world's most respected authorities on medieval art, takes us on a personal but highly insightful exploration of some of the British Library's most precious manuscript holdings and describes the many uses and meanings of these 'books in books'.

From the beginning, the word for booksefer in Hebrew, biblia in Greek, and liber in Latinwas identified with sacred writings--the Holy Scriptures of Jews and Christians, who were known as people of the book. The centrality of the book to medieval thought is reflected materially in the countless images of books that appear in the manuscripts of the era, be they in the most treasured, highly decorated, sacred texts or in devotional and secular works as well.
