Reviews
'This is a valuable study for the emergence of a dominant medieval Christian approach to biblical interpretation.' Journal for the Study of the Old Testament, "In sum, this book is a carefully argued and focused reappraisal of the Ashburnham Pentateuch's origins, context and importance. Through a holistic examination of evidence, it both convincingly grounds the manuscript in early medieval culture, and heightens the readers appreciation of this richly innovative work. While the controversies surrounding the Ashburnham Pentateuch will no doubt continue, this book will be of great itnerest to historians of art, religion, and early medieval culture. Like the manuscript of which she writes, Verkerks study offers thoughtful answers to difficult questions." - Lori Eshleman, Art History, Arizona State University, "Verkerk offers interesting observations about the iconography of selected images in an understudied manuscript" - Speculum Richard Gameson, University of Kent, "Verkerk has made a significant contribution to early medieval biblical and art historical scholarship. This is a thoughtful, readable analysis, grounded in recent methodologies, of a fascinating codex." - Celia Chazelle, College of New Jersey
