This book delves into the significance of medieval manuscripts and how they have shaped our understanding of history. The author, Christopher de Hamel, takes readers on a journey through twelve of the most renowned manuscripts, providing an intimate look at their origins and the stories behind them.

Throughout the book, de Hamel introduces various figures such as kings, queens, saints, scribes, artists, librarians, thieves, dealers, collectors, and manuscript scholars, all of whom have played a role in preserving or acquiring these precious artifacts. By examining the journeys that these manuscripts have taken through time and space, de Hamel uncovers unexpected conclusions about their history and impact on the modern world.

Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts touches upon various subjects such as religion, art, literature, music, science, and the history of taste. The book is a blend of a travelogue, detective story, and conversation with the reader, offering an engaging and informative exploration of these fascinating works of art that are often inaccessible to most people.
