Insular Art Forms: Their Essence and Construction

Dr. Robert Stevick's Insular Art Forms: Their Essence and Construction emerges as the most innovative work of his long and illustrious career. Building on years of research into medieval manuscript design and construction, Stevick has produced a masterpiece examining the ingenious ways in which insular scribes used geometry and mathematics to produce complex and beautiful designs. In addition to a detailed academic description of these processes, Stevick provides videos clearly illustrating the methods he describes, and materials for practical hands-on recreation of their methods.
Insular Art Forms is the only guide that offers both a true scholarly study of these methods and the means for modern readers to reproduce them.
