Tonx – oh, I agree. I think Futurebook people do too, actually: they mention the “classic illuminative relationship between text and image.” To me, that implies a two-way relationship, and one more complex than combination.

Or are there elements in a manuscript page that extend beyond the categories “text” and “image”? In which case, would you expand a bit?

i think its probably a mistake to think of illumated manuscripts as simply a combination of text and image. Terence McKenna has a juicy lecture on Marshall McLuhan that covers some intruiging ideas about this: poor transcript: Riding Range with Marshall McLuhan There is audio of this < a href="http://mckenna.psychedelic-library.org/terence%20mckenna%20-%20RidingRangeWithMarshallMcluhan%20rc.mp3">here
