This beautifully illustrated volume presents sixty-eight objects from one of the world's finest collections of post-classical glass--including such marvels as glass imitating rock-crystal and other semi-precious stones, glass formed into large and intricate shapes, and glass decorated withengraving, enameling, gilding, and carving. Each object is painstakingly described and a series of essays provide a wealth of background information.

One of the most lavishly illustrated codices of the Middle Ages, the "Belles Heures" (1405-1408/9) is the only manuscript executed in its entirety by the famed Limbourg brothers.
