The Church was the largest and most powerful institution in western Europe during the Middle Ages. Its influence upon the religious and spiritual existence of the people was enormous, but it also affected cultural and economic circumstances to a surprising extent, providing th e very framework within which people leved their lives. The Medieval Church in Manuscripts describes the institution of the Church in the later Middle Ages and outlines its impact upon contemporary society, with illustrations drawn from the British Library´s extensive collection of illuminated manuscripts.
