Ships and Shipping in Medieval Manuscripts
“Ships and Shippingilluminates medieval society and culture broadly, and is recommended for all medievalists and maritime historians.”(Vicki SzaboNautical Research Journal)“Flatman’s comments are both sensible and erudite. He makes the reader understand the background of the illuminations, provides facts about medieval ship construction and insight into navigation. He discusses the different interpretations of these pictures, their social contexts, technological traditions and the development of water craft, as well as the artistic aspects and symbolism. Readers will enjoy walking in the silent world of imagination and inspiration in a maritime panorama.”(Mariner's Mirror)
