But Dr. Millar suggests that the manuscript gains rather than loses by reproduction in monochrome, for the colour is often odd, distracting, and of no great beauty. The most familiar and perhaps the most valuable illustrations in the psalter are those which reproduce as accurately as the artist could contrive, various details of medieval life. The agricultural scenes, the well-known picture of a travelling coach for royal ladies, Jerusalem painted as an English town with shops and their signs, the many representations of games— these are obviously valuable and delightful documents. But the marginal grotesques are the most individual and startling part of the decoration. Such grotesques may be found in much earlier manuscripts of the school, as in the Ormesby Psalter of about 1295; but here they have developed a wild and hideous eccentricity which can only be paralleled in the last and most degenerate phase of medieval sentiment, in German woodcuts of the fifteenth century and, above all, in the nightmares of Hieronymus Bosch.’’—Times Literary Supplement. 490 MOORE (Tuomas) Parapisk and the Peri [a Poem], ELABORATELY ILLUMINATED by OWEN Jones and Henry WarREN, drawn on Stone by ALBERT WARREN and executed in the Highest Style of CHROMO-LITHOGRAPHY, containing 26 illustrations, with text on opposite pages, sm. folio, half calf (rubbed), Day & Son (ca. 1860] 12/- 491 SERMON ON THE MOUNT (Tur), IntuminateD in Gotp and Cotours by W. and J.
