Reviews
If the study of medieval art is not to remain an esoteric and elitist discipline then more books like this must be written., Looking at medieval manuscripts more and more closely, peering with pleasure into the borders of bunnies and monkeys, whether we seek deliberate smut or idle whimsy, it makes Image on the Edge well worth reading. It is an entirely diverting and unusual book., Camille's polymathic essays undoubtedly will provoke such studies and will expand the field of questions we ask . . . and in this he will have made a valuable contribution., This is an interesting book that will make the reader examine manuscripts and sculpture more carefully and understand the Middle Ages more comprehensively. . . . It is a book that will broaden your idea of medieval art in an enjoyable way., A handsome, entertaining account of the peculiar fashion for grotesque, obscene, and humorous presences on the margins of medieval illuminated manuscripts.

Synopsis
What do they all mean - the lascivious ape, autophagic dragons, pot-bellied heads, harp-playing asses, arse-kissing priests and somersaulting jongleurs to be found protruding from the edges of medieval buildings and in the margins of illuminated manuscripts? Michael Camille explores that riotous realm of marginal art, so often explained away as mere decoration or zany doodles, where resistance to social constraints flourished. Medieval image-makers focused attention on the underside of society, the excluded and the ejected. Peasants, servants, prostitutes and beggars all found their place, along with knights and clerics, engaged in impudent antics in the margins of prayer-books or, as gargoyles, on the outsides of churches. Camille brings us to an understanding of how marginality functioned in medieval culture and shows us just how scandalous, subversive, and amazing the art of the time could be., What do they all mean - the lascivious ape, autophagic dragons, pot-bellied heads, harp-playing asses, arse-kissing priests and somersaulting jongleurs to be found protuding from the edges of medieval buildings and in the margins of illuminated manuscripts?

- e***q (65)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseArrived exactly as described and faster than estimated!
- g***n (701)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseReceived the Erno Laszlo masks yesterday. Unfortunately, the product was old and the liquid in the first phase had evaporated. Informed seller of situation; she immediately responded + refunded me. I understand her situation: she was selling a prouct that was sealed and therefore could be regarded as new, but did not contain an expiration date. So the item was new, but also outdated. Will rate product description 5, with caveat. Very impressed by quick, positive response.
- 1***l (246)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem came exactly as it was shown in the pictures. The packaging was simple with some box cardboard, but thankfully, nothing happened it during the ordeals of shipping. As a sucker for Great Courses material regarding history this was a great find. Good seller nonetheless!Great Courses-Teaching Co.-The Italian Renaissance Vol. I-III (2005, DVD) +NEW+ (#392838850416)
- u***u (6)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem was shipped quickly. Packaging was good. Item was as described. I should have read the description more closely though. I was looking for a Xiaomi Band 7 but this was a generic brand which uses the same image as the real Xiaomi Band 7 on the box. But this is not a fault of the seller, it was marked as generic. I only looked at the picture.Smart Band 7 M7 (#267199689350)
