‎Summary The arts of the book from central Europe often provide a mirror both for imperial aspirations as well as for the complex pluralities of societies on the ground. The essays in this collection explore material written in Czech, German, Hebrew, and Latin, made for both religious and non-religious contexts in the ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth centuries, highlighting the range and depth of the Central European corpus as well as how integral such material has been to the formation of medieval holdings in America.
