“The Book: A Symbol of Monastic Ascent”
BY ADAM S. COHEN
(DEPARTMENT OF ART, UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO)
Among the activities of monastic reformers around the year 1000 was the production of illuminated manuscripts. Examining a cluster of Ottonian and Anglo-Saxon pictures reveals the central place of the book itself as the ideological site of monastic reform and spiritual ascent.
