The illustrated reference book on the terminology of book illumination is published in the fourth, revised edition. Christine Jakobi-Mirwald explains the rich technical vocabulary briefly and clearly. The drawings offer the possibility to search for terms for certain formal appearances such as initials or ornaments. If necessary, foreign words receive an etymological breakdown and an extensive multilingual directory summarizes the most important technical terms.
