Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the Little Gidding bible concordances, this study explores the visual culture of seventeenth-century England through the unique perspective of a remarkable family and their handmade biblical manuscripts. It challenges the belief that the English Reformation diminished the significance of religious imagery, revealing instead the enduring role of religious prints as vital tools for contemplation and understanding in early modern society.
