Cedric Chivers, Bath, 1972 reprint (with additional bibliography) of the 1911 first edition. Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm,. [16], 356, xiii pp,. From the blurb: "First published in 1911 and long out of print, Herbert's illuminated Manuscripts remains the best general introduction to the subject for English readers.
