One of a series of well-produced popular books showcasing the riches of the Getty's collections, this delightful volume presents close-ups of the fools, monkeys, hunters, birds, beasts, fish, and monsters that populate the margins of some of their illuminated manuscripts. Nishimura (medieval art, Rhode Island School of Design) provides the text and captions. There is a list of references, but no index.
