Résumé
THE MCCARTHY COLLECTION presents a panorama of the sophisticated art called, to use Dante's words, "illumination" (quell'arte ch'alluminar chiamata è in Parisi ; Purgatorio, XI, 79-80). Documenting for the first time this important and hitherto unknown collection, the present volume is dedicated to the holdings of single leaves and cuttings from medieval Italian manuscripts from the late 9th to the mid 15th centuries, and includes several important and rare Byzantine items.
This lavishly illustrated catalogue, incorporating a wide range of comparative material, introduces new research on many of the leaves and their parent volumes and constitutes a notable contribution to the scholarship of late medieval Italian illumination. Among other developments the rich holdings of late 13th- and early 14th-century illumination in the collection demonstrate, fascinatingly, the propagation of the new painting evolved by Giotto.
Robert McCarthy's passion for the medieval and early Gothic world is also apparent in his holdings of English and French illumination, discussed in a second volume (forthcoming 2019).
