"Although most modern scholars doubt the historicity of King Arthur, parts of the legend were accepted as fact throughout the Middle Ages. Medieval accounts of the historical Arthur, however, present a very different king from the romances that are widely studied today. Richard Moll examines a wide variety of historical texts to explore the relationship between the Arthurian chronicles and the romances. He demonstrates how competing and conflicting traditions interacted with one another, and how writers and readers of Arthurian texts negotiated a complex textual tradition."--Jacket.

It is difficult to envision the Middle Ages without heraldry; knights and ladies are routinely depicted with elaborate arms gracing their shields and clothing. The herald himself is also pervasive in the popular imagination, as he announces the arrival of some grandee. Edited here for the first time are some of the texts which detail the relationship between heraldic design and working heralds. That relationship changed dramatically over the fifteenth century as heralds claimed the right to design, interpret and grant arms according to an elaborate interpretive system. These texts, the work of clerics, heralds and even a future pope, describe the rules of heraldic design and the meaning of colours and charges. They also focus on the role of the herald himself, whether he is serving as a political or personal confidant, or organizing a trial by combat. Finally, they outline an imagined history of the office of arms, claiming that the herald’s authority could be traced to Julius Caesar, the Trojan hero Hector, or even the god Dionysus. These texts, little known in contemporary scholarship, provide valuable insight into the intellectual and visual culture of fifteenth-century chivalric society.

In de vijftiende eeuw is Brugge een kosmopolitische en dynamische stad, bekend om zijn boekenproductie. Luxeboeken nemen een centrale plaats in in de internationale handel en de Bourgondische cultuur. Midden in die boekenwereld staat Colard Mansion, producent van luxeboeken. Aanvankelijk is Mansion de man van fraaie manuscripten, maar al snel legt hij zich toe op het gloednieuwe medium van het gedrukte boek. Mansion drukt de meest schitterende wiegendrukken of incunabelen van zijn tijd, in een ongeziene typografie en heel bijzonder geïllustreerd. Hij drukt vooral Franse teksten die nooit eerder werden uitgegeven.
