“We do not know whether Jewish manuscripts were usually made by Jewish artists to order in Christian workshops, but they were certainly made in the styles locally current in their countries of adoption.”
Janet Backhouse, The illuminated manuscript

“Although most of the finest early illumination is to be found in liturgical manuscripts, some secular texts were also illuminated. Their number was to increase with increasing individual ownership of books.”
Janet Backhouse, The illuminated manuscript
