Objects of Affection: The Book and the Household in Late Medieval England - Manchester Medieval Literature and Culture
Myra Seaman

It demonstrates how MS Ashmole 61 affirms both the physical and moral agency of nonhumans, who fashion spiritually generous and socially mindful human household members. -- .
