"Kurt Weitzmann's book presents a fresh approach to the whole complex of early book illumination. Therefor, the importance of his study cannot be too strongly emphasized. Future research is bound to benefit greatly from it for a variety of reasons." (Speculum, Vol. 23, No. 3 (Jul., 1948), pp. 513).
