Twelfth-Century Cistercian Manuscripts

A comprehensive study dealing with a group of illuminated manuscripts from the Cistercian monastry of Sticna, the ancient Sitticum, in Slovenia. Natasa Golob reconstructs the medieval Sticna collection and analyzes in detail the 32 manuscripts and 6 fragments preserved in Ljubljana, Vienna and Wolfenbuettel. She explores relationships between scribs and illuminators - monks, clergy and lay brothers - and brings her information to present-day research on the medieval library and the monastic workshop.
