This non-fiction study by Mario Rotili investigates the presence and influence of French manuscript illumination in Naples during the medieval period. Focusing on imported stylistic elements and their integration into local artistic traditions, the book examines codices, iconographic motifs, and stylistic exchanges between France and Southern Italy. Richly illustrated and rooted in archival research, it provides a scholarly lens on the cultural intersections between Gothic France and the Angevin court of Naples. The volume is structured as a historical and stylistic survey, with detailed analyses of selected manuscripts.
