INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material subm itted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

Ml AS 106 '3131 761-4700 AN ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE LIBER FLORIDUS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Virginia Grace Tuttle The Ohio State University 1979 Reading Committee: Approved By Franklin Ludden Anne Morganstern Howard Crane \Adviser Christian Zacher Department of History of Art ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Upon the completion of this dissertation, I am pleased to acknowledge my gratitude to my adviser. Professor Franklin Ludden, for his generous assistance throughout my years of graduate study. My work on the Liber Floridus began in a seminar on medieval secular art that was offered by Professor Ludden. Through all stages of this work. Professor Ludden has offered the most valu able suggestions and patient criticism. I wish to thank the members of my dissertation com mittee, Professor Anne Morgansterm, Professor Howard Crane, Professor Christian Zacher, and Professor Carl Schlam, for reading my dissertation and making important recommenda tions. These recommendations have enabled me to improve many aspects of my work. Professor Schlam has also been very helpful in checking some of my translations from Latin. I am indebted to Professor Daniel Farrell for his assis tance in reading and criticizing part of this disserta tion. Ms. Shelly Wolfe is also deserving of my gratitude on this occasion. My realization that the structure of the Liber Floridus might correspond to that of the Beatus Apocalypse occurred during conversations with Ms. Wolfe, who is presently preparing a dissertation on a manuscript of the Beatus Apocalypse (New York, Pierpont Morgan Library, M. 644). Finally, I wish to acknowledge a great debt to my parents for the unfailing encouragement and support that has allow,ed me to bring my graduate work to completion. I also wish to thank my mother for having prepared the map of Flanders that appears on page xiv. October A, 1946............... Born - Newark, New Jersey 1970...........................
