"...Kerry Stokes's approach to collecting manuscripts shares [Cornelius J.] Hauck's interest in the unusual, the yet to be researched and explained. There is a wealth of riches in these manuscripts. They testify to the enduring ways in which the tradition of the illuminated manuscript, forged in the Middle Ages, uses both word and image to celebrate numerous aspects of spiritual and social life, and thereby continues to contribute in manifold and significant ways to a celebration of the longer history of the book" excerpt from Introduction by Margaret M.
