Manuscripts of the Lancelot Cycle in French prose, filmed in collaboration with Professors T. H. Ohlgren and T. E. Kelly of Purdue University, Indiana, who have been preparing a detailed iconographic index of the Bodleian's illuminated romances. The filmstrips present a complete record of all the figurative illumination in each manuscript, in successive frames, showing first the illuminated page as a whole and then detail(s) of the miniature, historiated initial, or border. Plain–text pages and pages with non–figurative decoration are excluded.
