Beschreibung:
Through analysis of the books and art objects Judith of Flanders commissioned and collected, Dockray-Miller demonstrates that Judith consciously deployed patronage as a cultural strategy in her political and marital maneuvers. Including full-colour reproductions from Monte Cassino MS 437 and Fulda Landesbibliothek MS Aa.21, this book is a fascinating account of a woman who thrived in spite of being on the losing side of the Norman Conquest and the Investiture Controversy.
Contents: Introduction: Before Northumbria; Lady of Northumbria, 1055-1065; The English books; Frontispiece portraits and exile; Collecting treasure as Lady of Ravensburg; The relic of the Holy Blood; Appendices; Bibliography; Index.
