Sealed in Parchment Rereadings of Knighthood in the Illuminated Manuscripts of Chretien De Troyes

Chretien de Troyes was France's great medieval poet--inventor of the genre of courtly romance and popularizer of the Arthurian legend. The forty-four surviving manuscripts of his work (ten of them illuminated) pose a number of questions about who used these books and in what way. InSealed in Parchment, Sandra Hindman scrutinizes both text and images to reveal what the manuscripts can tell us about medieval society and politics.Hindman, Sandra is the author of 'Sealed in Parchment Rereadings of Knighthood in the Illuminated Manuscripts of Chretien De Troyes' with ISBN 9780226341552 and ISBN 0226341550.
